Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 cups drained canned tomatoes in thick puree, chopped (from 1 28-oz can)
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried red-pepper flakes
4 lb mussels , scrubbed and debearded
1/8 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
salt , if needed
garlic toast (optional)

Directions:

In a large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, tomatoes, thyme, and red-pepper flakes. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Discard any mussels that have broken shells or that don't clamp shut when tapped. Add the mussels to the pot. Cover; bring to a boil. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, just until the mussels open, about 3 minutes. Remove the open mussels. Continue to boil, uncovering the pot as necessary to remove the mussels as soon as their shells open. Discard any that do not open.
Stir the black pepper into the broth. Taste the broth and, if needed, add salt. Ladle the broth over the mussels and serve with the garlic toast.
Wine Recommendation: Every Mediterranean country has its version of shellfish in a tomato-based broth, and the wine of choice for each is an earthy, full-bodied pink wine. Here, seek out a Lacryma Christi rosé.
