Mussels. Mmmm… The light spring weather, clear skies, and a good bottle of wine call for a big bowl of mussels. Moules-Frites (mussels and French fries) are just plain fabulous and so simple to make at home, if a bit labor intesive (for the fries). This recipe for mussels with chorizo highlights the flavor of the well-spiced sausage and the slightly barnyard-taste of the mollusk - beautifully compatible musky tastes. Pour a velvety Malbec (or a substantial white Burgundy), tear into a crusty loaf of French bread for dipping into the sauce and say “ahhhhhh….” What a delicious life.
