Method

1. Clean the mussels thoroughly, removing the beard and scrubbing the shells under cold water.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and sauté the crushed garlic and chopped parsley stems.
3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Toss in the mussels and the shrimp, then cover with a lid immediately.
5. Cook for 5-6 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the mussels have opened.
6. While the seafood cooks, toast the wholegrain bread slices until golden and crisp.
7. Discard any unopened mussels and serve the sauté hot with the toasted bread to soak up the juices.

Tips

• Ensure the bread is well-toasted to stand up to the delicious seafood broth.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes during the sauté for a spicy kick.
