Steps

Prepare Mussels

Thoroughly clean the black mussels under cold running water. Remove any beards and discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped. Prepare the vegetables: peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic, and roughly chop the parsley.

Sauté Aromatics

In a large, deep pan or pot, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Cook Mussels

Pour the white wine into the pan and bring it to a boil, letting it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Add the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, then add the cleaned mussels. Cover the pan and cook the mussels for 5-7 minutes, or until all of them have opened. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Serve

Once the mussels have opened, remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle generously with fresh, chopped parsley. Serve immediately in deep bowls, accompanied by fresh, crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
