Wash the mussels well and remove the beards. Discard any that are open, or do not close when sharply tapped. Chop the bacon, onion and celery. Melt the margarine in a pan, add the bacon and onion. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the celery, tomatoes, stock and basil. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add the mussels, cover and cook for a further 5 minutes or until all the mussels are open.
