Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have presented the trifecta of culinary arts: Fast, Frugal and Flavorful! I made this just tonight for my busy family. Everyone running to and fro for meetings, work, late classes, etc. This dish is outstanding hot, warm or cold (a splash of vinegar helps the cold version). Here in NY I only can get Canadian mussels. Those Tasmanian mussels look to be 3 time the size, and that color is just wonderful. A bag of mussels to serve 5 people in a dish like this (served over flat noodles with a green salad and a dollop of tzatziki, and toasted bread rounds) only cost me $7US. I rely on them for summer guests, but serve them in a light wine sauce. The addition of cream and chorizo in your preparation makes for a hearty winter dinner where diners only have 30 minutes for a meal. I will keep watching!

If I had a choice of oysters, clams, or mussels I would choose mussels every time! Small, delicate, taste very good and super easy to cook! As you said, very fast, too! They are affordable and in my area they are farmed and this makes them quite clean as well. My fast mussel dish is to steam the mussels and dip them in melted unsalted butter and serve with linguine mixed with garlic and olive oil on the side! This recipe is an interesting mix with interesting ingredients, I will definitely try this recipe!

Here in Texas real mussels are hard to get and expensive. I know that in France they are readily obtained from the sea. The "zebra mussel" is starting to infest our lakes but it seems that no one is considering them as food... yet. Yet I remember when our native freshwater clams could be harvested by the pound from the bottom of our lakes. They are smaller but they would work in this recipe. The chorizo we have here is nothing like the Spanish sausage you have. Mexican "chorizo" is a horrible, uncured mixture of the worst and most undesirable parts of pigs (use your imagination) that is spiced and packed into plastic tubes. The best thing you can do when cooking it is disguise that it is there, although it imparts a flavor. I think that the base you create before adding the mussels might have many uses. Thank you very much for this video.
@jtj96094 жыл бұрын
If you can't find chorizo you , you can substitute it with pepper and smoked paprika (spanish if you can) and maybe a tiny bit of lard. It won't be the same but hey, it's something. Btw the chorizo he's using is just notmal, nothing gourmet or expensive

I have no white wine so I am going to use a little dry vermouth. But I also have no chorizo; oh well. Also, where in the world do you find such large mussels? Maybe it's the time of year but ours are tiny (1/9/2021). I guess better small than none! Merci et salut de Pennsylvanie!
