Method

Heat the oil in a lidded, heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 10 mins. Add the garlic, cook for 1 min, then tip in the chopped tomatoes, thyme, harissa and a little water and gently simmer over a low heat for 10 mins.
Add the mussels, cover, then simmer for another 5 mins. Remove the thyme sprigs, stir in the chopped dill, then serve with crusty bread, a drizzle of olive oil, if you like, and the remaining dill.
