How to Make Mussels Mariniare

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes have softened slightly.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Add 2 pounds of fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened, discarding any that remain closed.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and a generous twist of black pepper.
  7. Spoon the mussels and sauce into large bowls and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
