Preparation
Step 1
Scrub the mussel shells well with a stiff brush and rinse in several changes of cold water. Just before cooking, pull off the beards and discard; reserve mussels.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy, nonreactive pot over medium heat. Add the leek, fennel and shallots; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, parsley and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the mussels and the wine and raise the heat to high. Cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until all the mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Serve immediately in shallow bowls with the vegetables and broth.
