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:

  • Use fresh mussels: Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and smell like the sea. Avoid any mussels that are open or have cracked shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Before cooking, clean the mussels by scrubbing them with a brush to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Steam the mussels until they open: Steaming is the best way to cook mussels. Steam them in a covered pot over medium heat until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
  • Make sure the coconut milk is hot before adding it to the mussels: This will help to prevent the coconut milk from curdling.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with rice, pasta, or bread.

Conclusion:

Steamed mussels with chipotles and coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of the smoky chipotles, creamy coconut milk, and tender mussels is sure to please everyone at the table.
