Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup shallots sliced thin
4 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
9 cups mussels, cleaned (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the cream, curry powder and lemon juice in a small bowl, and mix well. This step enables the curry flavor to develop.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot over high heat, and add the shallots, thyme and bay leaf. Stir until wilted. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the mussels open. Stir from time to time to assure even cooking. As soon as the mussels are opened, remove them from heat, and strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a bowl. Reserve 2 cups of the juice.
  • Remove the top shell from each mussel and discard it, leaving the mussel meat attached to its bottom shell. Arrange decoratively on a serving platter, and keep warm.
  • In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the remaining butter, and whisk in the flour, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Cook briefly; do not brown. Slowly add the 2 cups of reserved cooking juice, whisking constantly. Bring to a rolling boil. Add the cream-and-curry mixture, and combine well. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Add salt, and check for seasoning. Ladle the sauce over the mussels, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choosing Mussels: Make sure to choose mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Cleaning Mussels: Before cooking, it's important to clean the mussels thoroughly. Use a stiff brush to scrub off any dirt or debris from the shells. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Cooking Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Once they start to open, they are done cooking. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
  • Making the Curry Cream Sauce: The curry cream sauce is a key component of this dish. Be sure to use a good quality curry powder and coconut milk. You can adjust the amount of curry powder to taste.
  • Serving Mussels: Mussels can be served as an appetizer or main course. They are often served with bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
