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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with all seafood dishes, it is important to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. This will ensure that your mussels are cooked perfectly and your sauce is flavorful.
  • Choose the right mussels: Look for 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.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Before cooking, it is important to clean the mussels to remove any sand or grit. To do this, scrub the mussels under cold running water with a stiff brush.
  • Cook the mussels properly: Mussels cook quickly, so it is important to be careful not to overcook them. Cook the mussels in a covered pot over medium heat until they are just opened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The green sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you are ready to cook the mussels.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti and mussels are best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the mussels are hot and juicy and the sauce is flavorful.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti and mussels with green sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The mussels are cooked perfectly and the sauce is flavorful and herbaceous. Serve this dish with a glass of white wine and some crusty bread for a complete meal.
