Instructions

  1. Brush off the mussels and remove all threads. Throw away those with a damaged or open shell. Put the mussels in a large saucepan with their own water and heat them covered until all the shells are open, shaking the saucepan every now and then. Throw away clams that are still closed. Drain, catching the cooking stock.
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, sauté the onions over a low heat for 6-8 minutes until they are soft, but do not brown. Add the garlic and thyme, sauté for 1 minute. Reduce the wine and the sauce to a thick consistency over medium heat. Add tomatoes and mussel sauce. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  3. Add the mussels and heat for 5 minutes. Fold in the parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve with fresh white bread.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
