Mussels with Chorizo

Mama called me the moment she spotted these mussels at the market — her voice full of that “Reno, you need to get over here” excitement. When I walked into the kitchen, she was already rinsing them, smiling like she had been waiting all day for us to cook together. We teamed up right away: she chopped, I stirred; she seasoned, I poured the wine; both of us laughing and tasting as we went. By the time the mussels opened and the sauce came together, it felt less like cooking and more like one of those perfect moments you wish you could bottle up. Nothing beats making a beautiful meal with Mama.

Ingredients
• 8 lbs fresh mussels, cleaned
• 1 1/2 lbs chorizo, casings removed
• 1 cup Gratsi white wine
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
• Pinch of chili flakes
• 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Rinse and drain the mussels, then refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chorizo, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the chorizo is golden brown.

Add the mussels and toss to coat. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce, then add 1 cup of seafood stock (or water). Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

Simmer for 15 minutes, or until all mussels have opened.

Serve with toasted bread and finish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
