Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds mussels
8 baguette slices, cut on an angle
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped stems
2 heads baby bok choy, white and green parts separated, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
Grated zest of 1 lime, plus lime wedges for serving
2/3 cup coconut milk
4 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Remove any hairy beards from the mussels. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close after being tapped. Add the mussels to a medium bowl and cover with cold water; stir with your hand to remove any sand. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger, cilantro stems and the white parts of the bok choy. Cook until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and lime zest. Stir to coat the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any unopened mussels). Uncover and reduce the heat to low. Add the green parts of the bok choy and half of the cilantro leaves. Toss to wilt slightly.
  • Divide the mussels and sauce among shallow bowls and top with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the toasted baguette slices.

Provided by Dawn B.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs mussels
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (lite version is fine too, just won't be as rich)
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or seafood)
2 green onions, sliced
French baguettes (or fries!) or bread, for serving (or fries!)

Steps:

  • Keep the mussels refrigerated until you're ready to use. Once ready, place them in a large bowl of ice cold water. Scrub the outsides of the mussels and remove the string (or "beard") by using a towel or paper towel to pull it out. Discard any mussels that have opened already. Keep the mussels in the ice water.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once it's melted, stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the curry paste and continue to stir until it's distributed throughout the entire pan of onions. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and stock, stirring until it's smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the mussels and toss. Cover the skillet and cook just until the mussels open, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions. Stir the mussels well so the broth makes it into the shells. Serve immediately with baguettes or thin fries.

Tips:

  • Fresh Mussels: Always use the freshest mussels you can find. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Proper Cleaning: Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Pull off the beard (a cluster of fibers) from each mussel.
  • Cooking Time: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Once the mussels open, they are done. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
  • Coconut Milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy sauce. You can also use coconut cream for a thicker sauce.
  • Curry Paste: Adjust the amount of curry paste to your desired level of spiciness. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini.
  • Serving: Mussels with Coconut Curry Sauce can be served over rice, quinoa, or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
