Steamed Mussels With Chorizo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages chorizo sausages, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
2 dozen mussels, scribbed
1 cup dry white wine
1 orange, halved
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Preparation

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add chorizo; saute 3 minutes, until browned.
Add garlic and bay leaves; cook one minute until fragrant. Add mussels and wine.
Squeeze orange juice into the pan, then add halves (the rind will add another dimension to the sauce).
Bring to a boil, cover and steam 5 minutes or until mussels open (discard any that don't). Discard bay leaves, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
