Yield: 6 servings

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon hot chilli (Hogan's brand works well)
• 4 1/2 pounds cleaned, de-bearded Washington mussels
• 1 cup West Australian Riesling wine
• 1 18-ounce can peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped (undrained)
• 1 lemon, quartered
• 4 spring onions, thinly sliced

Heat saucepan with tight fitting lid, on medium heat. Add oil, onions, garlic and chilli; cook for 1 minute.

Add mussels, wine, and replace lid; cook 2 minutes on high heat. Add tomatoes and lemon; stir to promote even cooking. Replace lid and cook 2 minutes on high heat then add spring onions.

When shells open, the mussels are ready. Serve in large bowl, accompanied by a finger bowl.
