Grilled garlic mussels

1. Bring water to boil in a large saucepan. Add mussels. Cook, covered, for 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until mussels open. Discard any that don't open.
   
2. Break apart shells. Arrange half-shells on an oven tray. Discard remaining shells.
   
3. Heat oil in a medium frying pan on high. Saute onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in tomato, parsley, juice and Tabasco. Season to taste. Spoon mixture over mussels in shells. Preheat grill to hot.
   
4. TOPPING. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and parsley. Sprinkle over each mussel. Place under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes, until tops are lightly toasted. Drizzle with a little oil before serving.

• A mussel "beard" is the fuzzy membrane protruding from the shell. Remove this by grasping with a small knife and pulling towards you.
