Steps:
- If mussels are not clean, scrub them with brush and rinse in several changes of water. Debeard. Discard any mussels that are open if the shells will not close.
- Cook mussels in the wine in a non-aluminum pot for about 5 minutes, until they open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Strain mussel broth. Set aside mussels and keep warm.
- Whisk the tomato paste into the mussel broth and add enough water to make 3 cups of liquid.
- Meanwhile, saute onions in hot olive oil until onions are soft, in a pan large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
- Add the rice and reserved liquid and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until rice is tender. About 5 minutes before the rice is finished, add the pine nuts and currants.
- About one minute before the rice is finished, arrange mussels on top of rice. Sprinkle on parsley.
- To serve, arrange mussels on top of rice.
