Paper clips are useful for tightly sealing these simple appetizer packages. Foil is a good substitute for the parchment. (Paper clips are not necessary with foil; just crimp the edges to seal tightly.) Be sure to discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut out six 14 x 14-inch pieces of parchment or foil. Fold parchment in half; cut into half-heart shape. Unfold hearts and place on work surface; brush parchment with oil. Spoon 2 tablespoons tomatoes, 1 tablespoon leek, 1 tablespoon cilantro and 1 teaspoon ginger onto 1 half of each heart. Drizzle 1 tablespoon wine over each. Arrange 6 mussels atop vegetable mixture. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over mussels.
Step 2
Fold up parchment packages, sealing edges and using paper clips to fasten, if necessary. Place on baking sheet. Bake packages 10 minutes. Transfer to plates; allow diners to open packages.
