  In a mortar and pestle, pulverize garlic, anchovies,

  mix thoroughly to a soft paste. Set aside.
  
  In chicken fryer pan with deep sides, saute onion in
  olive oil until translucent. Add mussels and 1/2 cup of
  the wine. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until
  mussels open, about 10 to 15 minutes. Do not allow to
  dry out. Add more wine, if needed. Take out mussels,
  arrange on a serving platter.
  
  To pan juices (add more wine, if needed), add the garlic
  paste. Stir thoroughly. Pour over mussels. Decorate with
  basil leaves and serve with hunks of good Italian
