Mussels with Sherry, Saffron, and Paprika

This elegant recipe for mussels with sherry, saffron and paprika offers a sophisticated twist on a classic seafood pot. By combining the floral notes of saffron with the smoky warmth of paprika and a splash of dry sherry, the dish creates a complex, fragrant broth that beautifully complements the natural sweetness of the shellfish. Fire-roasted tomatoes add a subtle depth, making this a vibrant and colourful main course that is naturally dairy-free.

Perfect for an easy weekend supper or a light dinner party starter, these mussels are best enjoyed with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the aromatic juices. As a lighter seafood option, it is rich in protein and essential minerals while remaining quick enough to prepare in under twenty minutes. Serve in warmed bowls to keep the delicate broth at its best.
