Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: For quicker cooking, devein and clean the mussels beforehand. Shred the chorizo and chop the remaining ingredients prior to cooking.
  • Choosing Mussels: Opt for plump, tightly closed mussels with shiny shells. Avoid any with cracked or open shells.
  • Sautéing Chorizo: Render the chorizo's fat over medium heat to infuse the oil with its flavor. Don't let it burn; remove it when it's crispy.
  • Deglazing the Pan: Add the white wine to the pan where you cooked the chorizo. This deglazing step extracts flavorful browned bits, creating a rich sauce.
  • Cooking Mussels: Add the mussels to the pan with the wine and cover. Cook until the shells open, indicating they're cooked. Discard any unopened mussels.
  • Final Touches: Stir in the chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest for a burst of freshness and flavor. Serve the mussels with crusty bread for dipping.
