Mussels In Green Peppercorn Sauce Food

RECIPE: MUSSELS, CHORIZO, AND GREEN OLIVES IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Yield: 4 servings With a brush or kitchen cloth, scrub the mussels clean and remove any "beards" that loom around the shell. Put into the fridge until ready to use. Heat a large pot on medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Add the onions, chorizo, chile flakes, and anchovies. Sauté for one minute. Add the smoked paprika and sauté for another 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Mix together. Bring to a boil, then immediately simmer on lower heat. Once the heat has been lowered, add the olives and garlic. Cook the sauce for about 15 minutes. Add the mussels to the pot, mixing around to even everything out. Put the lid on, turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mussels have opened up (about 5 minutes). Add the chopped cilantro and mix everything in the pot. Discard any closed mussels - these are dead and can cause illness if you try to pry open and eat them. In a bowl serve the mussels with some of the sauce, and top each bowl with some cilantro leaves and some extra virgin olive oil if desired.
