Mussels and clams with grilled tomatoes, butter and herbs

1.Heat a large char-grill pan or barbecue to medium heat. Combine tomatoes, oil and thyme in a large bowl, toss to combine, season to taste and grill, turning occasionally, until golden and tender (8-10 minutes). Transfer to a large bowl and set aside until required.

2.Meanwhile, combine butter, lemon rind and juice and half the herbs in a bowl, mix to combine, season to taste and set aside.

3.Grill mussels and clams, covered with a lid or bowl and stirring occasionally, until they open (2-3 minutes; if you’re using a kettle-style barbecue, place a tray underneath the grill to catch the juices). Transfer to a large bowl, add lemon butter and toss until combined and butter has melted. Add grilled tomatoes and remaining herbs, and serve with crusty bread.
