Mussels with Chorizo and Smoked Tomato

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

2

Cook the Chorizo

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned and cooked through.

3

Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the smoked tomatoes and stir to combine.

4

Steam the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, season with salt and black pepper, and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until all mussels have opened.

5

Finish with Basil

Remove the pot from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves. Discard any mussels that did not open.

6

Serve with Focaccia

Slice the focaccia bread and serve it alongside the mussels for dipping in the broth.
