Preparation

To prepare the mussels in white wine, start by cleaning the mussels. Discard any that are open or damaged. Remove the beards and scrub the shells with a stiff brush or metal scrubber to remove any debris. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and keep in cold water until ready to cook.

Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and set aside.

Peel and halve the garlic cloves, then sauté them in two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for about one minute. Add the mussels, cover with a lid, and cook over high heat until the mussels begin to open – this only takes a few minutes. Add the white wine, give the pan a quick shake, then add the cherry tomatoes and close the lid again. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until all mussels have opened.

Finally, sprinkle the mussels in white wine with chopped parsley and serve with toasted slices of bread and a glass of Gewürztraminer “Kleinstein” Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Bozen.
