These mussels were really great! Love the garlic and tomato broth, had no parsley so subed with green onion tops just for colour, the wine added a nice zip to it. Very delicious and we will be doing these again, thanks Tebo!!!

    Very good and easy recipe for using mussels. We especially enjoyed the tomatoes. The broth was good by itself. Mussels are a real treat for us since we live so far away from the source.

    I served this at a "mussels party" and it went fast, fast, fast!!! I don't usually like mussels in tomatoes, but this recipe is great!! Will definitely make these again.

    Absolutely fantastic. Living on Cape Cod, we have access to many mussel beds and I can't wait until late Spring and Summer to go "musselling" and invite family over for a feast. Don't change this recipe one iota.
