Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 ⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 large tomatoes, chopped (or almost whole can diced tomatoes)
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
2 lbs fresh mussels, well scrubbed and debearded crusty French bread

Steps:

In a large saute pan or pot, melt the butter. Add the onions, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, parsley, and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover, and cook until the shells have opened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard any shells that do not open. Transfer to a large deep bowl and serve immediately. Make sure to have spoons available as this broth is good! Use your nice crusty french bread for dipping.
