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 freshs mussels , scrubbed and debearded
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic , minced
3 Romas (plum) tomatoes , chopped
3 greens onions , chopped
1 cup white wine
1 bunch fresh parsley , chopped
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
salt and ground black pepper , to taste

Instructions

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 margarine; 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 mussels with unopened shells.
