Preparación :
- Place mussels in colander in the sink and rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove debris and any dirt. Remove beards by pulling gently and discard any opened mussels.
- Preheat MP5, uncovered, at 375°F/190°C.
- Add leeks, fennel, garlic and salt. Sauté until softened, about 6 - 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add white wine and thyme, and stir to combine. Place cleaned mussels on top of vegetables. Place cover on MP5.
- When Vapo-Valve™ begins to click steadily, reduce temperature to 285°F/140°C and cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until mussels have opened.
- Remove mussels and place in a clean bowl. Add diced tomatoes, parsley and fresh ground pepper to taste. Add olive oil or butter, if desired. Stir to combine.
- Add mussels back to MP5 and toss to combine with sauce. Serve mussels warm.
Consejos:
- Serve mussels in shell with broth or remove them from the shell before adding them back to the broth.
- For a spicy kick of flavor add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper to steaming liquid.
