DIRECTIONS
  1. Put mussels in a large bowl and add cold water to cover. Let mussels soak for about 20 minutes to remove sand and dirt.

  3. Add green onions and plum tomatoes and continue cooking until they’re almost tender.  
  4. Add wine, parsley, and butter and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.
  5. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  6. Add mussels, cover with a lid, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the shells are opened.
  7. Place the mussels with the sauce on a serving bowl. Discard all the shells that haven’t opened.
