Description
This dairy-free recipe for steamed mussels packs flavor and nutrition and is super-easy to make!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into bite sized strips
- 1/2 cup bone broth, preferably homemade
- 3–4 pounds mussels, scrubbed as needed
- chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish
- lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Over medium heat, heat the oil in a pan with a tight fitting lid that is large enough to hold all of the mussels in no more than a double layer.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about five minutes.
- Add the prosciutto, broth, and mussels. Increase heat to high, and cover.
- After about 3 minutes, check the mussels. If all or most of the mussels have opened up, turn off the heat. If most have not opened, replace lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Scoop the mussels into a serving bowl. Use a slotted spoon to remove the prosciutto and scatter it over top. Use a ladle to pour the accumulated liquid over top the mussels, leaving behind any sediment in the bottom of the pan.
- Garnish with herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
