How to Make Grilled Mussels With Red Wine And Chorizo

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 finely chopped shallots, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 4 ounces chorizo, sliced. Cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened, about 4 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry red wine (like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon) and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat.
  6. While the sauce simmers, grill 1 pound mussels in a wire basket until they begin to open, about 2-3 minutes per side. Discard any that don’t open.
  7. Transfer the grilled mussels to the sauté pan with the red wine sauce.
  8. Return the pan to high heat; bring to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon butter.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately with grilled bread for dipping.
  11. Enjoy your taste of Yountville!
