Steps
- 1
Prep your mussels by soaking in salt water and discarding any shells that stay open after tapping gently on a surface. De-beard if necessary.
- 2
Grate the tomatoes on a box grater, discarding the skins.
- 3
Peel and finely slice the shallot and garlic and chop the chilli (if using).
- 4
Heat the oil or butter in a large pan (one you have a fitted lid for).
Add the garlic, shallot and chilli, then fry gently for a few mins until softened.
- 5
Add the wine and tomatoes, season with black pepper, then cook for a couple of mins.
- 6
Add the mussels and cover tightly with the lid. Leave them to steam over the heat for 3-4 mins until the shells have opened, shaking the pan occasionally.
Finely slice and add the parsley. Remove any shells that remain closed (they were already dead and shouldn't be eaten)
- 7
Serve up with a spare bowl to discard the empty shells. Great with bread to soak up the juices.
