Steps:
- Put the tomatoes in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water, leave for 3 mins, then drain and peel. Quarter the tomatoes and scoop out and discard the seeds using a teaspoon. Roughly chop the tomato flesh.
- Heat the oil in a large pan with a tight- fitting lid. Add the garlic, shallot and chilli, then gently fry for 2-3 mins until softened. Pour in the wine and add the tomatoes, paste, sugar and seasoning (mussels are naturally salty so take care with the salt). Stir well and simmer for 2 mins.
- Tip in the mussels and give them a stir. Cover tightly and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan halfway through, until the shells have opened.
- Discard any shells that remain shut, then divide the mussels between two bowls and add the basil leaves. Provide a large bowl for the empty shells.

mmmmm mussels, I prefer cultivated mussels because they don't have all the sand and gritty stuff that the regular ones do (cleaning is a breeze). Serves 4 as an appetizer or two for lunch...

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in heavy medium pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juices, whole onion, basil and 1 tablespoon oregano to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer sauce until reduced to 1 3/4 cups, about 1 hour. Remove onion and discard. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add parsley, bay leaf, crushed red pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and 2 tablespoons oregano. Sauté until garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Stir in Sherry and tomato sauce. Add mussels and stir to coat. Cover and simmer until mussels open, about 5 minutes; discard any mussels that do not open. Using tongs, transfer mussels to large serving bowl. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle sauce over mussels and serve.
Tips:
- Select the freshest mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells and no cracks or chips. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Rinse the mussels well under cold water.
- Use a large pot: Mussels will expand as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent overcrowding.
- Add aromatics to the pot: Aromatics like garlic, onion, and shallots add flavor to the mussels. You can also add herbs like thyme, oregano, or basil.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the mussels will add flavor to the dish. You can use white wine, chicken broth, or even beer.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and chewy.
