White Wine Chorizo Mussels - Live Learn Lovewell

Ingredients

• 2 lb mussels
• Salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large shallot, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 8 oz chorizo
• 1 lemon
• Bunch of parsley
• In a large mixing bowl, add mussels to a bath of cold, salty water. Agitate and rest for 5 minutes.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a generous glug of olive oil (about 1/4 cups) until it is shimmering. Add butter, garlic, and shallots, sweating for about 5 minutes.
• Add wine and mussels and cover the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, making sure to stir so that the garlic-butter sauce coats each mussel. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the mussels open.
• In a separate large pan, sweat chorizo until it releases most of its oil. Add chorizo and its juices to the mussels.
• Garnish with lemon and chopped parsley. Enjoy with bread or potato wedges!
