    The recipe was good, but unless you really love parsley, I would cut down to a pinch or maybe even leave it out-it seemed to over power the other flavors. Prep was easy but it does take a little time to chop it all up. Will try again but skip the parsley-thanks for sharing

    2
    Done

    Pick All Mussels, Tap All the Opened Ones and Discard Those That Do not Close Up After Tapping.

    3
    Done

    Arrange Bread Slices on a Cookie Sheet, Drizzle With 1 Tablespoon of the Olive Oil, Turn and Drizzle on the Other Side With Another 1 Tablespoon of Oil. Place in the Oven Until Lightly Toasted, About 10 Minutes. Remove from Oven and Let Cool.

    4
    Done

    in a Medium Pot With a Lid Bring White Wine, Bay Leaf and Chicken Broth to a Boil and Cook For About 5 Minutes. Add Garlic Slices and Let Cook For Another Minute. Add All Mussels at Once to Boiling Pot, and Follow With Tomatoes, Capers and Olives. Season With Some Freshly Ground Pepper. Reduce Heat to Medium.

    5
    Done

    Put Lid on Pot, Shake Pot Vigorously and Let Cook Until Mussels Are Done, No Longer Than 5 Minutes, Shaking Pot Halfway Through and Using a Slotted Spoon to Mix Mussels If Needed, Pouring Juices from Below on Top of the Mussels. Once Almost All Mussels Have Opened Up, Turn the Heat Off and Sprinkle With the Lemon Juice and Half of the Chopped Parsley. Mix Well and Taste Liquid in Bottom. Season With Salt and Pepper If Needed Bearing in Mind That Both the Capers and Olives Will Already Have Added Plenty of Salt to the Dish. Discard All Mussels Whose Shells Did not Open Up.

    Done

    Serve Immediately in 4 Large Bowls, Sprinkle the Rest of the Parsley on Top and Place a Couple of Toasted Bread Slices on the Side to Mop Up All the Liquid.

    Done

    If Desired, Drizzle the Remaining 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil Over the Mussels. Finally, Sprinkle Each Serving With Lemon Zest.
