'Here\'s one thing I\'m thankful for this year: Today, chef John Besh, New Orleans restaurateur and author of Cooking from the Heart: My Favorite Lessons Learned Along the Way, is joining me in the kitchen to make an elegant and incredibly easy dinner, moules Provencal. The mussels are cooked in an intensely fragrant broth of garlic, scallions, tomatoes, fennel fronds, and a touch of vermouth (John says it helps to bring out the sweetness of the mussels). These mussels were so tasty, I couldn\'t help but eat them right out of the pot. Make this heartfelt meal for your family and learn more about John\'s books and projects at ChefJohnBesh.com. Sarah\'s Tip of the Day: Using your fingers or a paring knife, pull down firmly on the wispy strings attached to the mussels and discard before cooking (while edible, the mussels\' \"beard\" have an unpleasant texture).

STEP 2 Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add scallions, fennel, and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Add vermouth, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape off any brown bits from the pan. Add thyme, parsley, mussels, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook, covered, until the mussels open, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and serve with crusty bread. --------------------------------------------------------------- Get the Full Recipe: http://full.sc/1g3hz9y More Fish/Seafood Recipes: http://full.sc/P0u643 --------------------------------------------------------------- Want more?
