Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook onion for 5 minutes to soften. Add sherry and bubble for 30 seconds, then add tomato, stock and thyme and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add mussels and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes, removing mussels as they open (discard any mussels that haven’t opened after this time). Keep mussels warm while you simmer sauce over medium-high for 20 minutes until reduced to a thick relish.
