Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped celery and sliced leek, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

2

Add Broth and Seasoning

Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, saffron threads, harissa paste, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

3

Cook the Chorizo

In a separate skillet, cook diced chorizo over medium heat until crispy. Drain excess fat and set aside.

4

Steam the Mussels

Add cleaned mussels to the pot with the broth. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until mussels open.

5

Finish the Dish

Once the mussels are cooked, stir in chopped cilantro and sliced scallions. Serve immediately topped with crispy chorizo.
