Description

This dish with mussels, white beans and Orecchiette is a real treat! I especially like to cook it in autumn when the mussels are in season. The combination of the salty sea taste of the mussels, the creamy beans and the slight spiciness of the chili is simply unbeatable. The preparation is a little more complex, but the result is worth it. A perfect dish for a cozy dinner with friends or family. If you like it a little lighter, you can also replace the beans with chickpeas. And if you like it spicier, just add an extra chili pepper.
