Mussels à la Marinière Recipe: Easy French Seafood

Ingredients

• 50 fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place the mussels in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for about 20 minutes to remove any dirt or sand.
2. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to brown it. Add the tomatoes and green onions and cook until they are almost tender. Stir in the wine, parsley, and margarine and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil until the liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and cook until the shells have opened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mussels and sauce to a large serving bowl, discarding any mussels that did not open during cooking.
