ingredients
- 2 kg Prins & Dingemanse mussels
- Small bunch of coriander, coarsely chopped
- 125 grams chorizo, in small pieces
- 100 milliliters dry white wine
- 10 small, flavorful tomatoes, chopped
- Pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- Salt
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- Olive oil
- 1 red chili pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
instructions
Rinse the mussels in plenty of cold water. Discard any broken mussels or open mussels that remain open even after tapping on the shell. Heat the wok. Fry the chorizo pieces over low heat without oil for 5 minutes until crispy. Add the onion, red pepper, and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes on low heat. Add the tomato and white wine to the wok, bring to a boil, and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with black pepper and possibly some sea salt. Add the mussels to the chorizo mixture. Put the lid on the wok and bring everything to a boil. (Is your wok not large enough for two kilos of mussels at once? Then remove half of the chorizo mixture from the pan and start with one kilo of mussels.) Shake the pan a few times. After 5 to 6 minutes, or when all the shells are open, the mussels are cooked. Sprinkle with the coarsely chopped coriander.
Tip!
Delicious with toasted sourdough bread. Place the slices of sourdough bread under the grill or in the grill pan until they are browned and crispy. Drizzle with olive oil. And don't forget to enjoy the delicious tomato sauce with chorizo at the bottom of the pan.

Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
