Ingredients
1 can 8-ounce chickpeas, rinsed (3/4 cup)
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 4-ounce jar chopped pimientos, rinsed
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
pinch of saffron
½ cup vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup dry sherry
2 lb mussels, scrubbed and debearded (see tip)
Directions
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, garlic and pimentos. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Stir in oregano, pepper and saffron. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Pour in broth and sherry, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
5. Add mussels and stir to combine. Return to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until the mussels open, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir; discard any unopened mussels before serving.
Tip: To debeard a mussel, hold the mussel in one hand. Firmly pull out the black fibrous "beard" from the shell.
