Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 ounces Spanish chorizo, chopped
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes, with their juice
1 cup dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds mussels, rinsed, scrubbed, and de-bearded
1 cup chicken stock or dry white wine
4 lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

Tomato Sauce:
To make the tomato-sausage base, put a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, stirring, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chorizo and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and wine, reduce the heat to a simmer, and simmer gently until slightly thickened and reduced, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Keep the tomato base warm while you cook the mussels.
Mussels:
Put the mussels in a large skillet or wok over high heat, add the stock or wine, and cover with a lid. Cook the mussels until they open, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, and pour the tomato-sausage base over the mussels. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fully heated through. Divide the mussels among 4 shallow soup bowls and serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
