CURRIED MUSSELS
This is a spicy curried dish that my English husband loves! Great as an appetizer or as a main dish. For less spicy/hot, reduce ginger and/or curry paste. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.

CURRIED MUSSELS
This delicious recipe is from my "Eve" cookbook. Eve Aronoff used to have a fabulous restaurant in Ann Arbor where we used to enjoy these mussels. We've made them several times at home. The curry cream recipe actually makes a quart, for which only 1 1/2 cups is used in this recipe. I have posted a recipe that also uses a batch of the curry cream for a torn seafood pasta. DH and I usually scale up the ingredients to make a batch and a half of curry cream, and then we enjoy both recipes.

Steps:
- For the Cream:.
- Heat oil and butter in large saucepan and saute onions, ginger, garlic and jalapenos for about 3 minutes.
- Season with spices and salt and pepper.
- Add cream, simmer to reduce until sauce thickens, but is still silky and coats the back of a spoon, about 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add sriracha, lime juice, and brown sugar and cheese.
- Adjust seasonings generously to taste.
- For the Mussels:.
- Place mussels in ice bath and stir. Discard mussels that do not close up tightly. Drain well.
- Saute garlic, shallots, salt, pepper, and a few sprigs of thyme in olive oil in large, shallow, non-reactive pot.
- Add mussels, shake to combine with garlic and shallots, add the white wine, thyme sprigs, and season with Kosher salt and black pepper.
- Cover and steam for about 3 minutes.
- Pour off half of liquid (discard or save for other use) and add Curry Cream.
- Simmer covered until mussels are completely open--shaking the pan occasionally. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Adjust seasonings generously to taste.
- Finish with topped fresh herbs and serve with crusty bread for sopping.
Tips:
- Prep the mussels carefully: Before cooking, inspect the mussels and discard any that are open or have broken shells. Scrub the mussels with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid for the mussels is crucial for adding flavor to the dish. Use a combination of white wine, vegetable broth, and aromatics like garlic, shallots, and celery.
- Cook the mussels until they open: Mussels typically take 5-7 minutes to cook. Cook them until the shells open, indicating that they are cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the mussels tough.
- Serve the mussels with a dipping sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with melted butter, lemon juice, and fresh herbs is a classic accompaniment to curried mussels. You can also serve the mussels with a side of rice or bread for dipping.
Conclusion:
Curried mussels are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
