Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 225 gm Dry cannellini beans
- 1 x Bay leaf
- 1 sprg thyme
- 4 x Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 kg Cleaned mussels
- 50 ml Dry white wine
- 100 ml Extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lrg Plum tomatoes, roughly minced
- 2 Tbsp. Minced flat leaf parsley Salt and freshly grnd black pepper
Directions
- 1 Cover the beans with plenty of cool water and leave to soak overnight. The next day drain the beans and tip into a pan. Pour in sufficient fresh water to cover them by 5cm/2", add in the bay leaf, thyme and 2 peeled garlic cloves.
- 2 Bring to the boil, skimming any scum from the surface as it appears, lower the heat and simmer for about an hour or possibly till the beans are very soft.
- 3 Raise the heat and boil rapidly till most of the liquid has disappeared. Throw away the thyme stalks and bay leaf. Put the mussels and wine into a pan, cover and cook over a high heat for 3-4 min till they have opened. Strain through a colander set over a bowl to catch the cooking liquor.
- 4 When cold sufficient, remove the meats from 3/4 of the shells, discarding any which have remained closed.
- 5 Slice the rest of the garlic into a large pan and add in the extra virgin olive oil.
- Slowly heat the oil and as soon as it sizzles, add in the tomatoes and simmer for 2-3 min.
- 6 Add in the beans and 150ml/5fl ounce mussel cooking liquor. Simmer for five min till the liquid has reduced to a rich creamy sauce.
- Season with pepper and salt if necessary (but you will not need any because mussels are quite salty).
- 7 Add in the mussels and simmer for 1-2 min till they have heated through. Stir in the minced parsley and spoon into four warmed soup plates to serve.
