Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sliced peeled fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, sliced and smashed
1 serrano or Thai bird chili, minced with seeds
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Southeast Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
4 dozen large mussels (about 2 1/2 pounds), rinsed and beard removed
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes), plus wedges for garnish
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oil a large skillet, with a lid, over medium heat. Add the shallots, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and chili, and stir-fry until golden and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the water, fish sauce, and sugar, stir and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover and steam until they open and plump slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Discard any mussels that do not open. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and mint leaves. Divide the mussels and broth evenly among the bowls. Serve.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
