Total time: 45 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion; 1 medium head fennel; 2 cloves garlic; 8 tomatoes; 0.5 teaspoon fennel seeds; 1 teaspoon chilli flakes; 1 cup white wine; 1 teaspoon sugar; 2 servings salt and pepper; 1 handful basil - greek basil if you have it; 1 kg mussels; 1 small bunch flat leaf parsley

This recipe brings together fresh mussels with a light, aromatic tomato and fennel broth. You'll start by gently cooking down sliced fennel and onion with garlic, then building the sauce with blanched tomatoes, white wine, and a hint of chili and fennel seeds. The mussels steam quickly in the simmering sauce, opening up in just a few minutes. It's a straightforward dish, ready in under an hour, and best served with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the broth.
