  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Cut the peppers in half, placing them cut side down on a baking tray, roast them, then place them in a plastic bag for 5 minutes. Peel and cut into 1 cm cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook a little in a skillet with olive oil until soft. Let cool.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing the tomato puree, paprika, lemon juice, and a bit of the mussel cooking liquid, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Distribute the peppers in the cups, place the mussels on top. Finally, pour the sauce over. Serve very cold.
