Steaming mussels in a big saucepan with sautéed onions and garlic, in my favorite white wine and tomato sauce, the aroma of these mussels was so pleasant.
After steaming in the saucepan for just 8-10 minutes, they were ready in a snap!
Ingredients
- 600g of mussels
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 50g sun-dried tomatoes
- Dried cilantro
- Fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper
Directions
