Sunny Fruit Fiesta Recipes

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT MUSSELS AND GARLIC-PARSLEY FRIES

Steps:

• For the mussels: In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Break up the chorizo while cooking to create fine crumbles. Season with a nice pinch of salt and ground pepper and cook, stirring, until the bits and pieces are crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the cream. Immediately add the mussels and cover the pot with a lid. Jiggle the pot a bit to coat with the liquid on the bottom. Steam until most of the mussels are opened, about 5 minutes. Discard ones that do not open in the steaming process.
• For the fries: Fry the shoestring French fries according to the package instructions.
• Add the oil, garlic and a few grinds of pepper to a large bowl. Mix and mash to combine. Add the hot fries to the bowl and toss while sprinkling with the parsley. Serve with mayonnaise for dipping.
• Sprinkle the mussels with the cilantro and serve with the fries.
