Mussels

Sofrito Butter

Grilled Focaccia

Method

Prepare Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub 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 olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Make Sofrito Butter

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, then stir in the butter until melted and combined.

Cook Mussels

  1. 5

    Add Mussels

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

  2. 6

    Add Chorizo

    Stir in the cooked chorizo and heat through.

Grill Focaccia

  1. 7

    Prepare Focaccia

    Brush the focaccia bread with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh rosemary.

  2. 8

    Grill

    Grill the focaccia on medium heat until toasted and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
