Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Roast the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they are blistered.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chorizo and Aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the white wine to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the prepared mussels and cover the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the mussels are opened, stir in the roasted cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
