Mussels Recipe

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove the beards if attached.

Cook the Chorizo

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add Aromatics

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the pot. Sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Deglaze with Wine

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Cook the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Season and Serve

Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
