If you’re a fan of seafood, you’ve probably heard of the dish called marinara . Traditionally, this recipe calls for the use of white wine to enhance the flavors of the dish. However, if you prefer to avoid alcohol or simply don’t have any white wine on hand, fret not! It’s completely possible to make marinara mussels without white wine. Read on to discover how to create this mouthwatering dish using alternative ingredients.

Ingredients:
– 2 pounds of mussels, cleaned and debearded
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
– 1 can (8 ounces) of tomato sauce
– 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon of dried basil
– ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by cleaning and debearding the mussels. Rinse them cold water and scrub off any dirt or debris using a brush. Remove the beards (threads) by pulling them towards the hinge of the shell. Discard any mussels with broken shells or that do not close when tapped.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.

3. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pot, stirring well to combine with the garlic and onion mixture. Allow the sauce to simmer for around 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir the sauce to ensure that the seasonings are evenly distributed.

5. Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking, as they may be unsafe to consume.

6. Once the mussels have cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Give the dish one final stir to coat the mussels evenly in the flavorful sauce.

7. Serve the marinara mussels hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Consider pairing this dish with crusty bread or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.

Tips:
– If you’re seeking a substitute for the white wine, consider adding a splash of chicken or vegetable broth to the sauce. This will help achieve a similar depth of flavor.
– Feel free to add additional vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce for added texture and taste.
– Experiment with different herbs and spices to personalize the dish according to your preferences.
