The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Serve 4
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ small red onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, sliced
100g fresh chorizo, diced
1kg mussels
150ml white wine
16 Spanish green olives, such as Manzanilla, pitted and halved
1 thyme sprig
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
In a large pan heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Fry onion and the garlic in the olive oil for 3 minutes or just as the garlic changes to golden. Add the chorizo and fry until it starts to crisp – discard some of the fat from the chorizo if it is too much.
Put the mussels in the pan, with the wine, olives and the sprig of thyme and cover. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the mussels have opened; discard any mussels that have remained shut.
Add some fresh black pepper and the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
