Mussels with balsamic tomatoes
Background
I made these mussels with balsamic tomatoes with cleaned and ready-cooked mussels, but you can use fresh one too if you prefer. Just add them to the tomatoes at the end - put a lid on and stem for about 3/5 minutes. Serve with salad or with aperitif or as a starter at a dinner party.
Ingredients
- 150g cleaned, cooked mussels
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp capers, from jar
- ½ chilli, deseeded
- 150g mixed baby tomatoes ( yellow, orange and red)
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp chopped flat parsley leaves
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Finely slice the onion, chilli and garlic.
- Heat 1 spoonful of olive oil in a frying pan and gently cook the onion until it softens. Add the garlic, chilli and capers. Cook for another minute.
- Cut the tomatoes in half, then add to the pan together with the balsamic vinegar. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes and onion start caramelizing.
- Add the mussels and cook for another couple of minutes to warm them through.
- Season to taste, then scatter the parsley on top and serve.
