Steps:
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook the onions in the butter over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chorizo to the onions and cook until the sausage loses its raw color, about 5 minutes. Add the harissa and red pepper flakes, and then turn up the heat to high.
- Once fragrant, deglaze the pan with the wine, allowing to bubble for a minute. Lower the heat to medium, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the prepped mussels and cover to steam until the mussels open, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream and stir. Serve immediately with plenty of sliced French bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper and salt; sauté until onion is light brown, about 4 minutes. Add wine, lemon slices and 1/4 cup parsley; bring to boil. Add mussels.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest mussels you can find. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold running water. Remove any barnacles or seaweed from the shells.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will overpower the flavor of the mussels.
- Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Cook them until the shells open, which should only take a few minutes.
- Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best served hot, so make sure to serve them as soon as they're cooked.
Conclusion:
Spicy mussels in white wine is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The briny flavor of the mussels pairs perfectly with the acidity of the white wine and the heat of the chili peppers. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table!
