Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 stalks lemongrass
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons chopped peeled ginger
1/4 cup green curry paste
2 15-ounce cans coconut milk
4 tablespoons fish sauce
6 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
4 limes, halved
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim the lemongrass, leaving 6 inches at the root end; discard the tops. Smash the stalks with the flat side of a knife and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in each of 2 large pots over medium-high heat. Add 1 sliced onion to each and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add half each of the garlic, lemongrass, ginger and curry paste to each pot and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 can coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1/4 cup water to each pot and bring to a simmer. Divide the mussels between the pots; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels open, about 8 minutes. (Discard any that do not open.) Add the juice of 2 limes to each pot, then add the lime halves. Stir 1/2 cup cilantro into each. Serve with bread, if desired.

This recipe was a waste of time. The mussels were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mussels turned out tough. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
