Mussels and Fries

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven and cook the frozen fries according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and sauté until it begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Mussels and Vegetables

    Add the cleaned mussels, cherry tomatoes, shaved fennel, and piment d'Espelette to the pot. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Cider

    Pour in the Spanish cider and cover the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that do not open.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the mussels and chorizo mixture alongside the fries. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
