- 1 cup drained canned diced tomatoes (from a 14- to 15-oz can)
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf

Instructions
- Heat butter in a wide 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, celery, tomatoes, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add beer and bring just to a boil. Add mussels and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until mussels open wide, 4 to 6 minutes, transferring them to a bowl as they open.
