CURRY GRILLED MUSSELS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 teaspoon fish sauce or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed well and beards removed
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
8 slices crusty French bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat. Whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, fish sauce, salt, red pepper flakes, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Place 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil from an 18-inch box on top of each other and put the mussels, garlic and onions on top. Fold the foil pieces upward to form a bowl or packet and pour the coconut milk mixture over the mussels. Close the packet, creating a seamless seal and leaving some space between the mussels and the top of the packet. Place on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the packet once.
  • 3. While the mussels are cooking, brush the bread with the olive oil. Place a sheet of heavy-duty foil on the grill next to the mussels and add the bread slices. Grill until the slices begin to char, flipping halfway through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 4. Remove the mussels from the grill and open the packet, being careful of steam. Pour the mussels and the liquid into a serving bowl, sprinkle with the cilantro and scallions and serve with the grilled bread.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 appetizers or 2 entrees

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf crusty country bread, preferably seeded or herbed
1-1/2 ounce Gruyere cheese
2 pounds cleaned muscles
2 medium shallots, sliced
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth (optional)
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium high. Cut country loaf into slices. Place on grill to toast one side.
  • Meanwhile, cover bottom of a large straight sided and heat proof skillet with foil to protect from soot. Place pan on the grill and add all ingredients, except butter, parsley, bacon and black pepper, stirring to mix. Remove bread slices to a cookie sheet, toasted side up and grate some gruyere cheese over the slices. Return bread slices to the grill to toast the other side and melt the cheese.
  • While bread slices are toasting, tint skillet loosely with foil and cover the grill, until bread slices are toasted (about 1 minute depending on grill heat. Be sure to check so bread doesn't burn).
  • Open grill and remove bread slices to cookie sheet and set aside. Close grill and allow muscles to continue cooking about another 3 minutes. Remove the foil and if some have not opened, give the pot a stir and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from grill and remove and discard any muscles that have not opened. Scoop remaining mussels into a large serving bowl. Return skillet with liquid to the grill, and let simmer 1-2 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat, swirl in butter, and pour liquid over muscles in bowl.
  • Sprinkle with black pepper, crumbled bacon (if using) and parsley. Serve with toasted country bread.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a shiny, black shell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have cracked shells.
  • Clean the mussels: Before cooking, clean the mussels by scrubbing them with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a hot grill: Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the mussels. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the grill and will also help to cook them evenly.
  • Grill the mussels for a short time: Mussels only need to be grilled for a few minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the curry butter is hot: The curry butter should be hot and melted before you add the mussels. This will help to evenly coat the mussels and will also help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as lemon butter sauce, garlic butter sauce, or a simple vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Grilled mussels with curry butter is a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The mussels are grilled until tender and juicy, and the curry butter adds a delicious and flavorful twist. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
