Gratin mussels

For 4 people

2 kg of mussels, 300 ml tomato sauce, 100 ml white wine, 100 ml olive oil

Mix 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of parsley and 1 clove of chopped garlic. Clean and cook the mussels. Cool them and then split them in two halves, discard the halves without meat. Now put the shell halves which contain the mussel meat in a roasting tin and add just enough tomato sauce to each one so you can still see the shellfish meat, then pour them with olive oil and white wine. Sprinkle over, very lightly, the mix of bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic and parsley. Thus prepared mussels bake for 5 minutes in a preheated oven at 200˚ C.
