 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Mussels in Red Wine


Mussels in a red wine sauce make an elegant appetizer for a dinner party or a quick meal to make for a weeknight. All you need is onion, garlic, tomatoes, fresh parsley, rosemary, and red wine for a rustic tomato and red wine sauce, and the best part is that it is ready in less than 30 minutes! Serve with some crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.

  • SERVINGS: 6
  • READY IN: 27min
  • PREP TIME: 10min
  • COOK TIME: 17min

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or to taste
  • 1/2 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
  • 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until softened and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant; 1 minute more.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Stir tomatoes, parsley, and rosemary into onions; cook until tomatoes soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Press tomatoes to release juice.
  3. Pour red wine into skillet, scraping up any browned bits of food using a wooden spoon. Bring liquid to a simmer. Add mussels and cook, stirring occasionally, until shells open, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
