  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion with the garlic. Then add the pepper and fry for 2 minutes. Mix in the cumin and the chilli powder.
  3. Add the tinned tomato. Crush the tomato with a spatula. Boil the sauce at a low heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Mix the beans into the tomato sauce. Lay the mussels in the pan. Stew the mussels, covered for 8 minutes or until all of the shells open. Mix together and add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Sprinkle the mint leaves over the chilli. Serve with the rice and a large spoon of yoghurt or sour cream.Tip Delicious with iceberg lettuce and yoghurt dressing.
