How to cook deliciously - Provençal Mussels
1 . Stage
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add red bell pepper and eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini, squash, and salt, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 12 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
2 . Stage
Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add mussels and white wine and cover. When steam starts to appear, cook until mussels open, about 5 minutes more. Add parsley, butter, and reserved ratatouille. Add salt and pepper, plus more to taste. Cook uncovered 3 minutes more and serve with crusty bread.
