Recipe of the Week
Steamed Mussels in Tomato Broth
INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 6 ripe plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded (see Tip)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
1. Warm oil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, increase the heat to high and stir for 1 minute more. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. 2. Add mussels, cover and steam, occasionally giving the pan a vigorous shake, until all the mussels have opened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Transfer the mussels to a serving bowl. Spoon the broth over the mussels and sprinkle with parsley. TIPS & NOTES
- Tip: To clean mussels, scrub them with a stiff brush under cold running water. Scrape off any barnacles using the shell of another mussel. Just before cooking, pull off the "beard" from each one.
- Discard any mussels with broken shells or any that do not close when tapped.

quote of the week
"It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks"
I can only attribute this quote to my grandfather who said it often...pretty deep!
-- If you have a quote you think worthy, please email to me at info@casadante.com with your name and I will approve, post it here and give you mention
Did you know?
Dont want to get serious here, but you should read this:
Did you know that a store can sell food past the expiration date?
With the exception of infant formula, the laws that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) administers do not preclude the sale of food that is past the expiration date indicated on the label. FDA does not require food firms to place "expired by", "use by" or "best before" dates on food products. This information is entirely at the discretion of the manufacturer.??A principle of U.S. food law is that foods in U.S. commerce must be wholesome and fit for consumption. A "best by", "use by" or expiration date does not relieve a firm from this obligation. A product that is dangerous to consumers would be subject to potential action by FDA to remove it from commerce regardless of any date printed on a label.
