  3. Next add the drained butter beans and the tin of tomatoes, add the sugar and check to see if you should add more salt. Let this simmer for 10 minutes making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. If things are a bit dry, add a splash of water, wine or beer.
  4. Add the frozen mussels, stir everything together and let the mussels cook for 5 minutes
  5. Just before serving, crumble the feta on top of the entire dish in the pan.
  6. Spread your pieces of bread with butter or olive oil and toast on the fire until crisp and brown, making sure not to burn the bread.
  7. Serve the mussel and tomato mixture on top of a piece of toast, add a squeeze of lemon and fresh coriander before serving.
