Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Clean 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. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent. Stir in the chorizo and cook until browned.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Saffron

    Add the diced tomatoes and saffron threads to the pot. Stir well and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  4. 4

    Add Mussels and Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the mussels open.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mussels and chorizo mixture hot, accompanied by toast points for dipping.
