Clean mussels with a small brush and discard any that are already open.

Melt butter and olive together in a pan. Add the onion and cook five minutes. Add the garlic, and cook another three minutes, or until onion is translucent and tender. Add the tomatoes, parsley, thyme, white wine, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil.

Discard any mussels that have not opened up. Serve hot, with crusty bread to sop up the juice.
