Mussels with Mushroom Broth
Savoury mushroom broth is an inspiring liquid for steaming up a pan full of mussels. Owing to sustainable farming practices, mussels are one of the most eco-friendly options from the fishmonger. And they’re a cinch to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) extra-virgin olive or camelina oil
  • 2 shallots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) tomato paste
  • 2 cups (500 mL) Mushroom Broth
  • 2 lbs (1 kg) fresh mussels, rinsed and scrubbed, discarding any that won’t close when tapped
  • 1/3 cup (80 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges
