Chorizo Beer Mussels
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Ingredients
1 chorizo, diced
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves
1 chilli, diced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 bottle of beer
1 kg mussels
2 tbs butter
½ bunch parsley
1 lemon
Coles sea salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Grilled sourdough.
Method
In a large saucepan with a lid, fry off the chorizo until the oil cooks out. Add the onion, garlic, and chilli, and fry until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the mussels to the saucepan and stir quickly, then pour in the beer. Place the lid on the pot and gently shake it to agitate the mussels and help them open.
Once the mussels have opened, remove them from the saucepan and place them into the serving dish.
Reduce the cooking liquid and stir in the butter to enrich the sauce. Remove from heat, then add the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve with the grilled bread and enjoy.
