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.

2-4 servings
45 min 25 min prep
8 ounces chorizo sausage, casings removed & chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
7 roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a large saute pan, cook the chorizo until brown over medium-high
heat, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper
towels. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
Add butter and when melted, add the onions, shallot, fennel seeds, and
pepper. Cook, stirring, until veggies are tender.
Add the garlic and tomatoes, and cook, stirring, for 2minute.
Add mussels to pan. Add the wine, 1/4 cup cream, and parsley, and
bring to a boil. Stir mussels, cover, and cook until the shells have
opened, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove mussels from pan to serving bowls. Discard any shells that do
not open.
In pan with juice, bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 3 minutes. Add
sausage and cream. Bring to boil for 1 minute. Pour juice over
mussels.
Serve immediately with hot French bread for dipping.
