List of Ingredients

3 dozen mussels
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
Bread crumb stuffing:
2 cups bread crumbs
4 Tbsp. grated cheese
3 garlic cloves, diced
2 Tbsp. parsely, chopped



Recipe

Scrub mussels with a brush, pull off beards. Prepare a fry pan with a tight fitting lid that will hold all the mussels. Add 3-4 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/3 cup water, salt and pepper. Cover pan, let mussels steam over medium heat to open. DO NOT USE UNOPENED MUSSELS. Remove mussels and open shells to lay flat. Do not break apart. Place one mussel in each shell, cover mussels with prepared stuffing. Squeeze 1 Tbsp. of crushed tomatoes on each mussel. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and remaining liquid from steam process to moisten bread crumbs. Bake 375 until golden brown-about 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.
