Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Clean the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Wine

   Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Cook the Mussels

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and let them steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Stir in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the mussels in bowls with lemon wedges on the side.
