- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Put the potatoes in a large pan of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry with kitchen paper. Scatter over a baking tray, and then toss with 1 tbsp of the oil and a little sea salt. Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway, or until golden.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the shallot for 2-3 minutes. Add the chilli and garlic, cook for 1 minute, then pour in the wine. Leave to bubble until reduced by half.
- Add the tomatoes, 200ml (1⁄3pt) water, Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Cook for a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, scrub the mussels clean, removing the beards. Discard any that are broken or don’t close when tapped.
- Add the mussels to the sauce. Cover, and then shake the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened (discard any that don’t). Scatter over the coriander. Serve with the chips.
