1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 oz. dried cured Spanish chorizo, thinly sliced into coins
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped
6 garlic cloves, smashed, divided
1 pint cherry tomatoes, preferably Sun Gold
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 lemons, divided
4 (1"-thick) slices sourdough or country-style bread

MUSSELS WITH CHORIZO , TOMATO AND WINE



Mussels With Chorizo , Tomato and Wine image

This is an Emeril recipe that got rave reviews from my family. We love mussels, and here in Holland they are locally cultivated. So during the season we try to have them once a week. I try new recipes frequently to change the pace. This recipe is my husbands favorite and gets requested often. It has an amazing flavor. I have changed it a little to suit my family's taste from the original recipe. Have plenty of crusty bread, as the juice is oh sooooo good! This recipe serves either 2 meal portions or a first course for 4-6 people. Rule of thumb in Holland is to serve 1 kg of mussels per person, for a dinner portion.
