Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 x cloves garlic, bruised with side of knife
2 cup dry white wine
2 cup diced ripe plum tomatoes (about 1 pound), or one 15 1/(2-ounce) can diced

Instructions:
Instructions: Combine olive oil, onion and garlic in large, broad saucepan or deep skillet.

Heat, stirring, over medium-low heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to boil. Boil 3 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, orange zest, sprig of basil, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Add mussels and cook, covered, over high heat until all the mussels have opened, about 10 minutes. Do not lift cover while cooking or you will quickly lose the heat needed to open the mussels.

Remove opened mussels to large bowl and cover with foil. Leave unopened mussels in pot and cook, covered, for a few more minutes. If mussels refuse to open, discard them.

Place slice of bread in bottom of 4 shallow soup plates. Top with mussels, dividing evenly. Top with sauce and sprinkle with basil.
