Tomato, Chorizo & Wine Steamed Mussels
I don’t know about you, but I indulged a bit over the holidays. Ok, ok… I indulged a lot.
Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cookies, pies, chocolate, cheese … and more cookies. It was a gluttonous two weeks, to say the least! As we quickly make our way into the second week of the new year, I am experimenting with healthier, nutrient-rich meals that pack a lot of flavour, like Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps, Pomegranate, Persimmon & Goat Cheese Salad, and these Tomato, Chorizo & Wine Steamed Mussels. It’s not a resolution per se… but rather something that needs to be done in order for my pants to continue to fit! ????
While this mussel dish might look fancy and indulgent I can assure you it’s not! In fact, a 75 g serving of fresh mussels contains 18 g of protein and is a good source of zinc, selenium, iron and vitamin C; not to mention other important nutrients including phosphorus, manganese, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamin B12. Nutrient-rich and full of flavour indeed!
Health and flavour isn’t even the best thing about this dish… it’s the ease of preparation! It’s so soooo easy to make! Mussels are often overlooked as a fast & flavourful dish because they look intimating, but in reality, there is nothing to be afraid of.. simply steam & enjoy!
My new Panasonic 3 in 1 Steam Oven is the perfect appliance for cooking everything from popcorn to these delicious mussels. That’s right, this powerful countertop appliance can steam, grill & microwave making every meal healthy, flavourful and perfectly cooked every time! In the case of these mussels, the convenient steam feature ensures each and every one is cooked to perfection, locking in all the moisture and flavour! (no more tough, overcooked mussels… hooray!!)
Whether you are a kitchen apprentice or an experienced foodie, the Panasonic 3 in 1 Steam Oven can help everyone develop their culinary skills and add a variety of fresh and delicious meals into your repertoire!

I’ve always wanted to try mussels at home but they are so intimating. Thanks for showing me how easy they are to make! Didn’t know they could be made in the microwave.
