1

Put the mussels in a large bowl and cover them with cold water; soak to remove any dirt or sand, about 20 minutes.
2

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add the tomatoes and green onions and cook until almost tender. Stir in the wine, parsley, and margarine, and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper.
3

Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and cook until the shells open, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mussels and sauce to a large serving bowl, discarding any mussels with unopened shells.
