INSTRUCTIONS
Beard, scrub and wash the mussels well. Core and mark the tomato, blanch
briefly in boiling water and refresh in iced water. Finely snip or chop the
chives and shallots - peel, seed and dice.
Put the white wine in a wide pan with the shallots and bring to the boil,
throw in the mussels, and place on a tight fitting lid. When the mussels
open, tip the contents of the pan into a colander, reserve the juices and
pass them through a fine sieve into a small pan.
Reduce the mussel liquor by half with the vegetable stock. Meanwhile, take
the top shells off the mussels and arrange in a bowl.
Add the saffron and cream to the liquor and whisk in the butter, put the
diced tomatoes and chives and taste. Adjust with lemon juice and ground
pepper.
Pour over mussels and serve.
