Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chorizo, removed from casings and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fennel, roughly chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cups white wine
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream, optional
  • 2 tablespoons parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 pounds mussels, well scrubbed and debearded
  • French bread, as an accompaniment

Instructions

In a large saute pan, cook the chorizo until brown over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.

Add the butter and when melted, add the onions, fennel, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the wine, cream, and parsley, and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover, and cook until the shells have opened, about 4 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the sausage. Discard any shells that do not open. Transfer to a deep bowl and serve immediately with hot French bread for dipping.
