Marinated Mussels

1 1/2 kilos fresh mussels

1/4 cup white wine
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
2 firm, ripe tomatoes, minced

Rinse and de-beard mussels and put them into a large kettle. Cover
securely, turn heat up high and steam in their own juices until
open, about five minutes. Cool slightly and remove mussels from
their shells reserving a half shell for each mussel.

Make vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together in a large
bowl. Add warm mussels and marinate at room temperature about one
hour. To serve, scoop a mussel and marinade onto a shell half.
Repeat until all mussels and shells are used and arrange on a large
platter.  Serves 6.
