Mussels cook in a white wine and tarragon broth, along with corn and tomatoes, for an easy-yet-impressive summer meal that will be ready in under 15 minutes. (No, we're not kidding.)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook shallot, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine and reduce mixture by half. Add tomatoes and corn and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Add mussels to pot and cook, covered, until shells have opened, 4 to 5 minutes. (Discard any unopened shells.)

  3. Stir in tarragon. Drizzle toast with oil and serve with mussels. Garnish with tarragon leaves.

Cook's Notes

Tomato Talk
You don't need cherry tomatoes for this broth—any type will do. (Cut bigger varieties into 1-inch chunks.)
