Ensure all mussels are cleaned and closed. Discard any that do not close when lightly tapped.
In a large, shallow pan, heat the garlic olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the diced tomatoes, wine and let it reduce slightly. Add half of the chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of butter, and harissa.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Grate in the lemon zest for a fresh lift.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pan, cover, and cook over medium-high heat until they open, about 3-4 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Once mussels are opened, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter for a rich, silky sauce.
Serve immediately with slices of baguette or garlic bread to soak up the delicious broth. Enjoy the rich flavors and aromas of this Moroccan-inspired steamed mussels dish.
