Mussels with White Beans & Tomatoes
Cooking mussels may seem intimidating, but here we've made it quick and easy. We've added white beans to turn this classic mussels-in-white-wine-sauce dish into a heartier weeknight meal. Serve with whole-grain crusty bread to sop up the flavorful broth.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium shallot, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added white beans, rinsed
- 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded if necessary (see tip)
- ½ cup dry white wine
- lemon wedges for serving
Directions:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to release their liquid, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans and stir to combine. Place mussels on top and pour in wine. Cover and cook until the mussels open (discard any unopened mussels), 5 to 6 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with more thyme, if desired.

Since I do not like green bell peppers, I decided to create a filling that would go well with my favorite pepper, a poblano. After a few taste tests with my family, this stuffed poblano peppers recipe is now one of our favorites. I have also added black beans, used Cubanelle peppers and served with cilantro lime rice.
