Stir in tomatoes, cumin and mussels. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking until mussels are opened, from 3 to 4 more minutes. Discard mussels that do not open. Sprinkle with green onions and coriander. Add a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with bread for dipping into the broth.
