Mussels with Chorizo and Smoked Tomato

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2

Cook the Chorizo

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to brown and release its oils.

3

Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Stir in the minced garlic and smoked tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4

Add Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

5

Finish with Basil

Once the mussels are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

6

Serve

Serve the mussels hot with slices of focaccia bread on the side for dipping.
