THAI MUSSELS WITH JASMINE RICE
This is a yummy fragrant Thai dish that can be served by itself or with jasmine rice. If serving as is I would probably up the mussels to 3kg as mussels are very light and not all will open.

SPICY COCONUT MUSSELS WITH LEMONGRASS
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.

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.

THAI GREEN MUSSEL CURRY
This dish I made the other night just messing around with the ingredients I had in my fridge, except the mussels, which I bought that day, while I was out as they were on special. This would serve 2-3 as a main meal, depending on appetites, without rice. My hubby and I try to eat low carb as often as we can so I did not serve ours with rice. I would say if serving over steamed Jasmine rice it would be adequate for 4 as you would have the added starch to fill you up, as we all know how light mussels are.
