MUSSELS ITALIANO
This is another recipe from my Italian sister in law. Its good with Italian crusty bread to mop up the broth. Prep time includes soaking. Based on some queries from other chefs, I'm expanding the directions to include more information about buying, storing and cleaning mussels.

Steps:
- When you bring your mussels home from the market, discard any that are chipped, broken or otherwise damaged; discard any mussel that is open.
- If you are not using right away, cover with damp paper towels in a container that can be tightly closed and store in the refrigerator.
- Just before cooking, wash the mussels in several changes of cold water.
- Using a small knife or a dry towel, remove the beards by pulling out towards the hinged side of the mussel.
- To remove any remaining sand, soak mussels for about 30 minutes in cold water containing a handful of salt and a handful of flour.
- Take each mussel from the bowl and using a firm brush, remove any barnacles before placing into another bowl of clear water.
- Melt butter in a medium sized pot; saute onions til clear.
- Add garlic& stir for another minute.
- Add tomato, oregano, salt& pepper and cook until tomato is soft.
- Add wine& bring to a slow boil.
- Dry the mussels with a clean towel, place into pot, cover & steam for 4 minutes; remove the lid & stir the mussels.
- At this point, most of the mussels should be open; replace the lid and steam for another 2 - 4 minutes.
- Discard any that don't open.
- Divide into serving bowls& cover with broth.
- If you increase the serving size for this recipe, don't add too many mussels to the pot at once or stack them on top of each other as it will make it difficult for the mussels to open due to the weight.

Steps:
- Add 6 tablespoons olive oil to a saucepan; drop in the crushed garlic, and set over medium heat; when the garlic is fragrant and sizzling, stir in the onion slices, bay leaves, salt, and pepper flakes.
- Cook for a couple of minutes, tossing and stirring, just until the onions begin to wilt but still have some crunch.
- Pour in the wine, and bring to a boil; immediately dump all the mussels into the pan, tumble them over quickly; cover tightly, and turn the heat up to high.
- Steam the mussels for 3 minutes, frequently shaking the covered pan, then toss them over, with a wire spider or wide slotted spoon.
- If the mussel shells have already opened (or almost all are open), leave the pan uncovered--otherwise, replace the cover and steam a bit longer.
- As soon as the mussels have steamed open, sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs all over the pan; quickly tumble the mussels over and over, still on high heat, so their liquor and the crumbs fall into the bubbling pan juices and create a sauce( if the pan sauce is still thin after a minute of bubbling, sprinkle in more bread crumbs).
- Finally, drizzle 2 more tablespoons oil and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top, and toss briefly to distribute the seasonings.
- Turn off the heat, set the pan in the center of the table, and let people scoop mussels and sauce into their own warm soup bowls (and remember to put out extra bowls for the shells).
- Serve with good crusty bread for mopping up the sauce.

STEAMED MUSSELS II
Less is more when it comes to cooking mussels! Use only fresh mussels, which are tightly closed when you buy them. If you can't find fresh mussels, make something else! Serve with slices of fresh crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
