STUFFED MUSSELS IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:
- Beard and clean mussels.
- Open mussels over bowl to collect liquid. Set aside.
- Cut stale bread up into cubes, place in bowl and moisten with broth. Let stand till bread has softened.
- Squeeze bread well of all liquid. Mix all the stuffing ingredients well in a bowl.
- Stuff mussels placing a heaping tablespoon of the stuffing on an open shell, press the two shells shut and wipe off the stuffing that squishes out.
- Make the tomato sauce: Sauté garlic, chili pepper and parsley in the oil over medium heat (do not let garlic brown). Add the crushed peeled tomatoes, stir and then add the mussel juice you've kept aside. Let sauce simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Gently place mussels into pan, cover and let mussels stew for about half an hour or until stuffing has cooked through.
- Serve and garnish with a sprinkling of parsley.
