Ingredients

500g mussels

3 tbsp olive oil

2 shallots, finely chopped

100g baby plum tomatoes, halved

Pinch of sugar

2 wine glasses of red wine

1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped

4 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 very thick slices of bread from a white bloomer loaf

1 garlic clove, peeled

Ground black pepper

Method

Scrub the mussels with a vegetable brush under cold running water and pull off any beards. Discard any that don’t close when tapped.

Pre-heat the gril. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan. Add the shallots, tomatoes and sugar, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine, chilli and parsley and season well. Allow to bubble for 30 seconds, then add the mussels.

Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the mussels have opened and are cooked.

Meanwhile, cut 2 very thick slices of bread from a white bloomer loaf and toast on both sides. Immediately rub both sides of the toast with a peeled garlic clove. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle on a little chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper.

Serve with the steamed mussels.
