Ingredients

Method

Scrub mussels, removing any beards. Discard any that do not close when tapped. Set aside. Drain and dice tomatoes, reserving juice. Set aside.

In Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic, celery, fennel, basil, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and reserved juice, wine and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Add mussels; cover and steam over medium-high heat, stirring once, until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley.
