    This video is all about a family riff on a specialty from the South of France, Mussels Provencal. Mussels are sustainable, ethical, sustainable and most importantly DANG DELICIOUS DANG IT. This dish is a family recipe that my mom remembers eating as a kid - it’s a take on a “Provençal recipe” which makes sense because her dad, my grandpa spent a lot of time in France. This dish is one of my favorites from childhood so it only makes sense I ask my mama to make it for me. Love you, Mama.🤘🏻 Adam

    Mussels with Tomato, Wine and Herbs…
    5 pounds fresh mussels
    4 tablespoons olive oil
    4 plump garlic cloves, minced
    1 large yellow onion, chopped, about 1 cup.
    2-28 oz cans whole canned tomatoes, coarsely chopped
    1-6 oz can tomato paste
    1 cup dry white wine
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
    1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, optional *add saffron to 2 tbsp warm water before adding to stew.
    4 sprigs fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried
    1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced or 1 teaspoon dried, be sure it is finely chopped
    1 bay leaf
    1/4 cup tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley plus more for garnish
    1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 Large loaf of warm, crusty bread to serve
    TECHNIQUE:
    1. Remove beards from the mussels, scrub the mussels and place in a large colander and rinse well. Let drain fully. Discard any mussels that are partially open or have cracked shells.
    2. In a large pot or dutch oven with lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes and then add the garlic and stir for 1 minute more or until fragrant.
    3. Add pepper flakes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt and pepper and stir to blend the flavors. Add the wine and bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.
    4. Bring the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and parsley then stir and add the mussels. Give the mussels and tomato mixture a good stir. Cover and cook until all mussels are opened, about 4-6 minutes, remove from heat but keep covered and let sit for 2-3 more minutes.
    5. Pour the mussels into a large serving bowl (or serve in pot) and serve with a warm loaf of crusty bread or pasta.

    Most of us remember Mom making things like hot dogs or peanut butter sandwiches. Your Mom would make steamed mussels with tomatoes, wine and herbs. No wonder you're such a cook!

      Truth be told, thought it might sound “fancy” mussels are mega affordable and historically eaten by the lower class! But I’ll take it. Thank you.

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  3 роки тому +1

      If you can get your hands on it some verjus. It’s non alcoholic acidic juice made from unripe wine grapes. That or some decent fish stock will do.
