When she first tried a similar dish at Kuleto's Italian Restaurant in San Francisco, Sunset recipe editor Amy Machnak was shocked at how well this unusual flavor combination complements mussels. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 large garlic clove, sliced |
2/3 cup dry white wine |
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice |
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes |
2 pounds mussels in shells, scrubbed, beards pulled off |
1/3 cup sliced fresh basil leaves, divided |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine, orange juice, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and chile flakes and let simmer 5 minutes. Add mussels and half the basil; cook, covered, until mussels have opened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with remaining basil. Serve with warm crusty Italian bread such as ciabatta.
2. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
