Mussels Recipe For The Pressure Cooker

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Mussels - I can put 3 lbs in my 8 QT Pressure Cooker XL. I make one set and then I just make the rest. If you plan to make 5 lbs. Then you would just use half my easy recipe.
  • 1/2 cup of Wine
  • 3 TBS of Garlic
  • 1 large can of Diced Tomatoes 28 ozs I usually grab some with an Italian blend but this time I did the plain version
  • 3 TBS of Butter
  • A handful of Scallions or Italian Parsley works. I just like to see some green.
  • (Pasta and Marina sauce although my husband just likes the juice from the pressure cooker on his plate.

Instructions
 

  • Plug in your pressure cooker and put in 1 1/2 cup of water. (2 cups if you skip the wine)
  • Look at the mussels and make sure they are all closed. You do not want to eat anything that is already open prior to cooking. Also, clean off the shells.
  • Next, put  your steamer  in the pressure cooker (You can put the mussels in without it. I just think this contains the mess.)
  • Put the mussel on top of the steamer
  • Then dump the can of tomatoes
  • Add the garlic
  • Slice up the butter
  • Pour on the wine
  • Top with the scallions or the Italian Parsley
  • Then close the pressure cooker. Put it on for 8 minutes in the manual setting.
  • Once the pressure cooker is done cooking release the pressure using your mitts
  • Make sure the mussels are open before you serve them. If they didn't open and there are only a few then they are bad if most of them didn't open you need to put them back in the pressure cooker for longer.
  • I usually serve them over pasta. I make my pasta on the stove. You can use the juice under the steamer and pour it over the pasta or just serve them with marinara sauce.
