MUSSELS WITH WHITE WINE AND CHORIZO
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fresh Mussels
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Chorizo, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup Red Bell Pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup Shallots (or onions) cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3 cloves Garlic, peeled, crushed and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup Tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup of White Wine
- 1/3 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
Directions:
- Gently sauté the Chorizo, Red Pepper, Shallots, Garlic, Tomatoes, and Salt in the olive oil, until the shallots just begin to become tender and translucent. (Approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the White Wine and the Mussels and cover. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, and then turn back down to a simmer and cook until the mussels have opened (typically about 8 to 10 minutes). Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Remove from the heat and add the fresh Parsley, and then stir for a moment to make sure the Mussels have been fully coated with the sauce.
- Serve in bowls with plenty of sauce and hunks of crusty bread
