Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2kg fresh mussels (I used Spencer Gulf live organic mussels)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bulb fennel, finely sliced
  • 60g chorizo sausage
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 150mL white wine
  • 150mL stock or broth
  • ½ bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped roughly

  • To Serve
  • Sourdough baguette
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic clove, minced

Method


  • Rinse and beard the mussels and place in a large pot with 60mL water. Cover with a lid.
  • In a small pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the fennel so that it just starts to brown, about 10 mins.
  • Remove the skin from the chorizo (if possible) and finely dice sausage.
  • When the fennel is caramelised, add the chorizo and garlic and cook, stirring for 2 mins or so.
  • Turn up the heat and add the tomatoes and wine. It should sizzle. Reduce the heat immediately and add the broth or stock. Simmer for another 3–4 mins.
  • Place the mussels on a high heat. Check after 4–5 mins that they have opened. If not, replace the lid for one more min and check again.
  • To char the sourdough, heat your barbecue grill and rub the slices of bread on both sides with olive oil. Char on both sides then rub with garlic.
  • Once most of the mussels are open, drain them in a colander.
  • Place them back in the pot, add the parsley leaves and pour over the sauce. Stir through, then transfer to a platter.
  • Enjoy immediately and serve with char-grilled sourdough baguette to mop up the delicious sauce.
