Fideos with Mussels

Ingredients for Fideos with Mussels

• 90ml de azeite de oliva extra-virgem

• 275g fideos

• 210g chopped onion (1 large)

• 2 colheres de chá de alho picado

• 2 (14- to 425g ) cans diced tomatoes in juice

• 1 colher de chá de sal

• Pitada de açúcar

• 100g finely chopped Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage

• 60g )

• 1 folha de louro turca ou 1/2 folha de louro da Califórnia

• 240ml de vinho branco seco

• 1200ml white fish stock

• 1.4kg mussels (preferably cultivated), scrubbed and beards removed

• 2 colheres de sopa de salsa fresca de folha lisa picada

Heat 60ml oil in a wide 6-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat until hot but not smoking, then add fideos and cook, stirring frequently and turning over, until golden brown (nests will break up), 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pasta with a slotted spoon to a bowl.

Add 160ml onion and 1 teaspoon garlic to oil remaining in pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes, then stir in tomatoes with juice, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and sugar. Increase heat to moderately high and simmer, stirring frequently, until tomatoes have broken down into a very thick paste, about 25 minutes.

While sofrito simmers, cook chorizo, bay leaf, and remaining 110g onion and 1 teaspoon garlic in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in an 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, then boil 5 minutes. Add stock and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and return to a boil, then add mussels. Cook, tightly covered, over moderate heat, until mussels open wide, 3 to 6 minutes. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 6 minutes.) Transfer mussels with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Discard bay leaf.

Add mussel-cooking liquid and browned fideos to sofrito and boil, uncovered, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and has absorbed most of liquid, 12 to 15 minutes. Add mussels and 1 tablespoon parsley and cook, tossing, until mussels are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with remaining tablespoon parsley.
