Method
Scrub the mussels with a stiff brush and pull out the hairy beards. Rinse and drain.
Heat the oil in a large wok over high heat. Add the onion and garlic, bay leaves and chorizo and cook, stirring regularly for 4 minutes or until the chorizo and the onion is lightly golden and the chorizo colour has spread through the oil . Add the mussels and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the wine. Bring to the boil, then add the crushed tomatoes.
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and steam, shaking the pan occasionally for a further 5 minutes or until the mussels open.
