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. -
I feel like I just cooked a high end restaurant seafood entree. I used frozen mussels. Is that a bad thing? This recipe is so easy to put together and tastes great. I -
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.

I am an early retired guy living in the beautiful Okanagn Valley in British Columbia. Most of all I enjoy retirement and living where I do. I travel as much as possible in the winter to as many varied hot places I can. Enjoy cooking and entertaining and being entertained!
