Tonight we had a delicious dinner compliments of Rene! On one of the episodes of "Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the FoodNetwork we saw an episode about bacon. Rene was quite excited about the angry mussels that were shown with bacon and jalapenos.
We decided to make our own version of angry mussels tonight.
Ingredients:
about 6 pieces of bacon (cut into 1/2 inch sections)
1 link of chorizo *this was Rene's addition to the original ingredient*
2 Tablespoons of minced garlic
1 cup of water
1-1 1/2 cups of white wine
1 Jalapeno
3 Serrano Peppers
2lbs fresh mussels
Directions:
Add the bacon, chorizo and garlic to a pan and allow to cook down
Then add the wine and water and allow to reduce to about 2/3 of the original volume
Add in the peppers cook 2-3 minutes
Toss in the cleaned mussels and cover
Cooke between 2-4 minutes until all mussels have opened and then add to a large bowl for serving.
Serve with a crusty bread
It was amazing!
