You have had them in restaurants, you have probably had them at a friends house. Make sure to take the time to make these at home, they are inexpensive and a wonderful bounty from the sea. You can use many different combinations of flavors but the concept is still the same. Make a flavorful broth then steam the mussels in it and eat with some good crusty bread to sop up that broth.

2 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds of fresh mussels about 8-12 per person
3-4 cloves of garlic chopped
1/2 onion finely chopped
teaspoon of your favorite curry powder or paste
1 cup chopped chorizo sausage
good glug of dry white wine about a cup
chopped chives, cilantro also works
olive oil

Directions

Large pot, olive oil on medium high heat sweat the onions, garlic and chorizo until just starting to caramelize. Add the curry paste or powder and stir for a min to cook it out (take the rawness out of it)

Add the mussels and the wine, cover and let steam for a few min giving the pot a shake after about a min. Transfer to a shallow bowl garnish with fresh chives or cilantro (parsley, or pretty much any fresh herb works). Serve with crusty bread to sop up all that broth and enjoy!

NOTE: The chorizo and curry should provide enough salt for seasoning but taste before you serve and adjust if needed.

If you want to make a creamy richer broth add 3/4 cup of 35% cream (half and half) before you plate and let cook another minute until incorporated.
