Directions

In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe, and cook until just tender; it should be bright green. Drain well, and cut into 2 inch lengths.
Combine the oil, anchovies, and garlic in a large, deep skillet. Cook over high heat, mashing the anchovies, for about 1 minute. Spread the mussels in the skillet, top with the potatoes, broccoli rabe, and chopped parsley. Add 1/2 cup water, and season with salt. Cover, and cook until mussels are open. Serve.

"Excellent... couldn't stop eating! I made a few little changes, that I think really enhanced the flavor. I changed the 1/2 cup of water to 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I added some white wine after a..." See moredding the broth, probably about 1/4C - 1/2C. I also added some crushed red pepper. After the musssels opened, I turned the heat down and let it simmer for a while so the potatoes and mussels would absorb the broth/wine flavor. Can't wait to make it again!"

"I made a half recipe of this, and substituted white wine for the added water at the end. Quite tasty, and very simple to make. I'd consider adding some fresh dill or fennel next time...." See more"
