These mussels in tomato broth offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy fresh seafood at home. This light, Mediterranean-style dish relies on the natural sweetness of quality mussels paired with a hit of garlic and a subtle warmth from dried chilli. By simmering the shellfish in a vibrant base of white wine and tomato, you create a rich, savoury broth that perfectly complements the briny flavour of the sea without the need for heavy fats.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a healthy midweek dinner or an elegant weekend starter. Serve the mussels in wide bowls to capture all the delicious juices. For a complete meal, pair them with a large green salad or a small portion of crusty wholemeal bread to soak up the fragrant sauce.

Ingredients for Mussels with Tomato Broth
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoons dried hot red pepper flakes (optional)

240ml dry white wine
240ml tomato sauce
1.8kg mussels (preferably cultivated), scrubbed and beards removed
How to make Mussels with Tomato Broth
Cook garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) in oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until garlic is pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and boil over high heat 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce and mussels and cook over moderately high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until mussels just open wide, 6 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels that are unopened after 8 minutes.) Serve immediately.
