Egg & Sperm Count Enhancing Recipe
Moules Provencales
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
7 oz rindless unsmoked bacon, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs (thyme, marjoram, basil, oregano)
1-2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
4 large, ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 oz (1/2 cup) pitted black olives, chopped
7 tbsp dry white wine
5 lbs mussels, scrubbed and bearded
Salt and ground black pepper
4 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh parsley, to garnish French bread
-- cut into chunks, to serve
1.
Heat oil in large pan. Fry the bacon until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside.
2.
Add onion and garlic to the pan and cook until softened. Add the herb mixture, with both tomatoes. Fry gently for 5 minutes, stirring. Stir in the olives and season with salt and pepper.
3.
Put the white wine and mussels in another pan. Cover and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until the mussels open. Discard any that remain closed.
4.
Strain the cooking liquid into the pan containing the tomato sauce and boil until reduced by about one-third. Add the cooked mussels and stir with a wooden spoon to coat them thoroughly with the sauce. Take out the bay leaf and discard.
5.
Divide the mussels and sauce among four heated dishes. Scatter over the fried bacon and chopped parsley and serve hot, with French bread for mopping up the juices.
