Mussels and potatoes




The baked mussels with potatoes are prepared by boiling the potatoes that we will cut into slices to place them in a baking dish with mussels. Let's find out all the steps for the recipe of baked mussels with potatoes.

Ingredients

Mussels 700 g 
Water 250 ml 
Potatoes 700 g 
Extra virgin olive oil 5 tablespoons 
Garlic 2 cloves 
Basil in small pieces 
8 Tomatoes 250 g 
Breadcrumbs 3 tablespoons 
Salt to taste 
Pepper to taste

Preparation

Clean the mussels, scratch them and soak by changing the water often and eliminating broken and closed ones. Place the mussels with very little water in a large pot over moderate heat and once opened remove the empty half of the shells. Strain the cooking liquid using a layer of kitchen paper and store it. After cooking the potatoes, drain them and cut them after peeling. Spread two tablespoons of olive oil on the base of the baking dish. Cover the bottom with the potato slices and tomato slices. Add the mussels in their half shell in a single layer. Sprinkle with chopped garlic and pieces of basil. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and black pepper, the cooking liquid set aside and the remaining olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for about 20 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden. Serve.
