Mussels with Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, and Tarragon

Mussels with Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, and Tarragon

You'll have this dish on the table in under 15 minutes. (No, we're not kidding.) Serving it with lots of crusty bread is a must: You'll want to sop up every last drop of broth. We love the hint of anise from the tarragon.

Cook's Note

Tomato Talk
You don't need cherry tomatoes for this broth -- any type will do. (Cut bigger varieties into 1-inch chunks.)
