SPICY COCONUT MUSSELS WITH LEMONGRASS



Spicy Coconut Mussels With Lemongrass image

Mussels are cheap, delicious and relatively fun to eat: saline, mild and plump little bites. They are also extremely easy to cook, especially if they've been farmed (most mussels you find in markets have been). Just give them a good rinse, and they are ready to go. Here the treatment heads in the general direction of Thailand, offering a sauce of coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic and chiles that perfectly frames the sweetness of the meat.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons coconut or safflower oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed (outer layers removed) and finely chopped
1/2 to 1 small hot chile (like Thai bird, Serrano, Scotch bonnet or jalapeño), seeded and finely chopped
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 pounds fresh mussels, rinsed well
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Asian fish sauce, or to taste
1/2 cup whole cilantro leaves
1 or 2 croissants, split in half.

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot until hot. Add the shallot, garlic, lemongrass and chile. Cook over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and mussels. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the mussels have opened, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any mussels that remained closed). Remove from heat, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the mussels to a large bowl, leaving the liquid in the pot. Stir the lemon zest and juice, fish sauce and cilantro into the pot. Taste and add more fish sauce and/or lemon juice if needed (fish sauce provides the salt).
  • As the mussels cook, heat the broiler. Place the croissants, cut side up, on a small baking sheet. Run under the broiler until just golden. Put the mussels in two wide, shallow bowls. Ladle the broth over them and serve with the croissants.

Tips:

  • Clean the Mussels: Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a mussel brush or a soft cloth to remove any barnacles or seaweed.
  • Discard Any Open Mussels: Before cooking, tap each mussel on a hard surface. Discard any mussels that remain open after tapping.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will elevate the flavor of your dish. Use full-fat coconut milk, flavorful sausage, and zesty limes.
  • Don't Overcook the Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve Immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after cooking. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
