Mussels in Tomato Sauce

Ok, Hepofaus wanted my mussel recipe so here it is...
1. In a pot very lightly brown some garlic in olive oil. (At least 4 cloves crushed).
2. Add about 500 to 700 ml of diced tomatoes. Can works.
3. Add some chopped basil, parsley and about 2 tbl spoons of crushed chili peppers.
4. You can also add a little bit of white wine to the mixture if its handy and you haven't guzzled it all.
5. Add mussels cover and steam until they open.
6. Pour into serving container and enjoy. Have crusty bread handy.

The secret with mussels is as follows, if they are open before you cook them or closed after you cook them...don't eat them. Oh...make sure your mussels are cleaned properly, most grocery stores will do this for you. There is a little "beard" thing at the base (obvious imagery intended), just scrape it off with a sharp knife.

Enjoy...
