PORTUGUESE STYLE MUSSELS IN SPICY CHOURICO TOMATO SAUCE
These steamed, saucy mussels with chourico sausage in a rich garlic-tomato-wine broth are divine. Even better when you have a big chunk of warm crusty bread to mop up the sauce! The sweetness of mussels, with the smoky, spicy, saltiness of chourico makes them work beautifully together in this flavor packed Portuguese inspired entrée or appetizer. This is another one of my mom's recipe that has been handed down to me after years of many recipe variations until she reached this recipe.

This is the only way my husband wants his mussels prepared; it is a regular around our house. Instead of steaming the mussels in a white wine, garlic sauce - red wine is used. Yum.
