Best 7 Mussels In Yummilicious Lemongrass Broth Recipes

SAUTEED MUSSELS WITH BEER AND LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot add the mussels and cook for 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the bell pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallots. Stir for 1 minute and then add the beer, cream, peas, basil, lemon juice, crab base and hot sauce. Continue to stir until the mussels are completely open, then let simmer until the sauce is reduced by a quarter, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with crusty French bread, if desired.

MUSSELS IN LIGHT BROTH

Steps:

• In a 4-quart pot over medium heat, add the oil. Add the ginger, garlic, cumin, black peppercorns, asafoetida, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cilantro and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups of water and cook for 8 minutes on a low heat. Add the mussels, cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mussels are opened. Remove from the heat. Transfer the mussels and broth to a serving bowl and finish with the tempered oil.
• To make the Tempered Oil:
• In a small pan over medium heat, add oil. Add the curry leaves and mustard seeds; when the mustard seeds begin to pop, remove the oil from the flame, about 30 seconds. Drizzle the oil over the mussels and broth.

SPICY COCONUT MUSSELS WITH LEMONGRASS

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.

SALMON STEAKS POACHED IN LEMON BROTH

Steps:

• Place lemon juice and chicken broth in medium saucepan with cover.
• Add raw salmon steaks.
• Bring liquid to slow boil over medium-low heat.
• Reduce heat slightly, cover, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Flip salmon over, cover, and continue to simmer 5 more minutes or until salmon is cooked through.

MUSSELS IN LIME-COCONUT BROTH

Steps:

• Heat butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garam masala, turmeric, bay leaves, and chile pepper and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes more.
• Add ginger and tomato paste to the saucepan and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and lime juice. Mix in sugar and black pepper; stir well. Bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
• Add mussels to the saucepan and simmer until all shells open, about 5 minutes. Discard any shells that do not open. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with cilantro.

MUSSELS IN SPICED BROTH

Steps:

• Crush the coriander stems in a mortar using a pestle, then put into a large pan with the coconut milk, lemongrass and ginger. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4 mins. Add the lime leaves and chillies, then stir in the coconut cream.
• Add the mussels and fish sauce, then cover with an ill-fitting lid or baking tray so that the mussels can steam, but the broth won't boil over and make a mess of your stove. Bring the liquid back to the boil, then simmer for a few mins, shaking the pot every so often so the mussels move around and open up - this should take about 3-5 mins.
• When all the mussels are open, add the lime juice but don't boil again. Taste, and if you like it, good - otherwise add more chilli for heat, more lime for sourness and more fish sauce if you think it needs salt. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with the coriander leaves to serve.
