Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 pound chorizo, or linguiça, chopped
4 pounds mussels, rinsed and debearded
1/4 cup white wine, optional
Chopped parsley for garnish

Steps:

Put the olive oil in a large pot that can later be covered, and turn the heat to medium. Cook the onion and chorizo, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Put the mussels in the pot; cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until mussels open, about 10 minutes. If they have not generated enough broth for you, add the wine and cook, uncovered, another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
