Steamed Mussels with Chorizo, Smoked Paprika, and Garlicky Croutons

Scott Phillips

Servings:4

Just 30 minutes to a delicious dinner that could work on a weeknight or even a casual dinner party. The chorizo and mussels cook together, creating a briny, smoky broth that begs to be sopped up with garlic toast. Add a salad and you’re done.

Stir in the sliced garlic and cook until the edges of the onion begin to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the smoked paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, wine, chorizo, and thyme and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Stir in the mussels, coating them with the sauce mixture.

    Though it did need more liquid (not sure how they got four pounds of mussels in), the taste was great! I used andoiulle sausage as chorizo is hard to find here. I also added chopped red and green bell peppers as we prefer some vegetables in there and it worked beautifully.

    I made this with shrimp instead of mussels. O my goodness. Quick, easy, complex flavors, wonderful. I suggest if you use canned tomatoes (as I did), don't drain them. It could've used a tad more liquid. I also put all the garlic in the dish and did not toast the bread---the softer textured bread was nice for sopping up the juice.

    I was too lazy to do the garlic bread part but the steamed mussels were delicious.
