These French mussels are reminiscent of dining in an outdoor café in the south of France. Serve Patti's mussels à la marinière with crusty bread, and a nice chilled glass of white wine. This exact recipe can also be used for clams.

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 ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Place mussels in a large bowl with enough cold water to cover; soak to remove any dirt or sand, about 20 minutes.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, but do not brown. Add tomatoes and green onions; cook until almost tender. Stir in wine, parsley, and butter; bring to a boil. Boil until liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.

  3. Add mussels to the pot, cover, and cook until shells are opened, about 10 minutes. Transfer mussels and sauce to a large serving bowl, discarding any unopened shells.
