| 1. SAUCE: Chop the tomatoes. | 2. Heat the butter/margarine and olive oil in a saucepan and fry the diced onions, chopped garlic and chillies until the onion is transparent, taking care not to let the garlic colour (it will taste bitter otherwise). | 3. Add the paprika, basil and tomato paste and stir. | 4. At this point, a little dry white wine (or water) may be added to loosen the sauce and then add the tomatoes, with a pinch of sugar. | 5. Simmer for 40 minutes and then season with salt and pepper. | 6. Clean the mussels and debeard (pull the hair away from the mussel). | 7. Place the mussels and dry white wine (or water) in a pot over a high heat. | 8. Cover with a firm lid to create steam from the liquid. | 9. Steam the mussels and once they are fully open, strain all the liquid from the pot. | 10. Discard any that haven't opened. | 11. Add the chilli tomato sauce to the mussels and stir gently to coat all the mussels with the sauce. | 12. Squeeze over half a lemon and garnish the dish with quartered lemons and chopped parsley. | 13. Serve immediately, with lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
