Instrucciones
- 1.First, prepare the mussels. Scrub the shells under cold running water and pull off the fibrous 'beards'. Discard any mussels that are broken or remain open when tapped.
- 2.In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced fennel, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for another minute.
- 3.Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to break down. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and season with a little salt and pepper.
- 4.Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and increase the heat to medium-high. Steam for 4-6 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Shake the pot once or twice during cooking.
- 5.Discard any mussels that did not open. Stir in the fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately in bowls, spooning the delicious broth over the top.
