Directions

Heat oil in pan and add vegetables. Cook for 15 minutes until very tender then add paprika, garlic, SIDS CRAZY SALT and herbs then cook a minute or two more. Add SIDS LOW SUGAR RASPBERRY VINEGAR and bubble for a few minutes before adding wine and stock. Season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste, cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Set aside until you are ready to cook the mussels. (Flavours will intensify if left for a few hours)
