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.

CURRY GRILLED MUSSELS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 teaspoon fish sauce or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed well and beards removed
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
8 slices crusty French bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat. Whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, fish sauce, salt, red pepper flakes, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Place 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil from an 18-inch box on top of each other and put the mussels, garlic and onions on top. Fold the foil pieces upward to form a bowl or packet and pour the coconut milk mixture over the mussels. Close the packet, creating a seamless seal and leaving some space between the mussels and the top of the packet. Place on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the packet once.
  • 3. While the mussels are cooking, brush the bread with the olive oil. Place a sheet of heavy-duty foil on the grill next to the mussels and add the bread slices. Grill until the slices begin to char, flipping halfway through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 4. Remove the mussels from the grill and open the packet, being careful of steam. Pour the mussels and the liquid into a serving bowl, sprinkle with the cilantro and scallions and serve with the grilled bread.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold water. Remove any barnacles or other debris. Pull off and discard the beards.
  • Soak the mussels in cold water: This will help to remove any remaining sand or grit. Soak the mussels for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Make sure the curry butter is melted before grilling the mussels: This will help the butter to evenly coat the mussels and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the mussels over medium-high heat: This will help to quickly cook the mussels without overcooking them.
  • Cook the mussels until they are just cooked through: This will take about 3-4 minutes per side. The mussels will be done when they are opaque and the shells have opened.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Drizzle the mussels with the curry butter and serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Grilled mussels with curry butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The mussels are cooked quickly and easily on the grill, and the curry butter adds a flavorful and aromatic touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
