Mussel sauté
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Serve the mussel sauté hot, together with the resulting vegetable sauce. This dish is especially delicious with fresh unsweetened baked goods, toasted bread, croutons, and various sauces. If using boiled-frozen mussels, cooking time will be 2-4 minutes, while fresh mussels require at least 5-8 minutes. Serve hot.

Step 3
Wash the tomatoes and peppers, remove the seeds from the peppers and the green cores from the tomatoes. Cut into large pieces and add to the container. The sauté cut should be large! Simmer for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat — the tomatoes will release their juice.
