INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces chorizo sausage or turkey sausage, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
3 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Spanish smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup white wine
A pinch of saffron
2 lb. fresh mussels, scrubbed
French bread, cut into slices, brushed with olive oil and grill
DIRECTIONS:
In a large sauté pan, cook the sausage with shallots and garlic till the shallots are pale golden. Drain off most of the oil, reserving about 1 Tbsp.
Add tomatoes, paprika, red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Cook till tomatoes soften.
Add mussels and wine and bring to boil. Lower heat, add a pinch of saffron and cover, cooking until the mussel shells have opened, about 6-8 minutes.
With a ladle, serve mussels with sausage and sauce into a bowl. Discard any shells that have not opened.
Serve immediately with French bread for dipping.
Enjoy!

Looks simple but delicious. And of course, there needs to be lots of crunchy French bread for dipping.
