For the mussel tartare: Steam the mussels in a dash of wine in a tightly covered pan until they open. Turn out of the pan and allow to cool a little.

Meanwhile blanch the onions briefly in boiling water then drain and refresh in cold water. Pat dry.

Remove the mussels from their shells and place in a bowl with their finely strained juices.
