Mussels Oregano Recipe
- 3/4 cup Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Filippo Berio Olive Oil
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 pounds fresh mussels
- Crusty Italian Bread
- Warm the oil, garlic, and oregano in an 8-quart pot over medium-low heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the garlic is soft. Take care not to brown the garlic. Add the wine. Increase the heat to high. Boil for about 7 minutes, or until the wine no longer smells of alcohol. Add the tomatoes and salt. Decrease the heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the mussels. Stir. Increase the heat to high. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Spoon the mussels into large bowls and ladle the broth over them. Serve the bread on the side.
