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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, plus
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, diced
1 tablespoon curry
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup clam juice
2 inches lime peel, chopped
1 lime, juice of
3/4 cup coconut milk
4 lbs fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In large stockpot, saute shallots and ginger for 5 minutes.
  • Add curry, saute 2 minutes.

  • Discard any mussels that did not open.
  • Add cilantro to broth, cook for 30 seconds, then spoon over mussels into bowls.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mussels: Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a sharp knife to remove the beards from the mussels.
  • Use a large pot: Mussels will expand as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with bread or rice, or they can be used in a variety of dishes.

Conclusion:
