Provided by Dawn B.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs mussels
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (lite version is fine too, just won't be as rich)
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or seafood)
2 green onions, sliced
French baguettes (or fries!) or bread, for serving (or fries!)

Steps:

  • Keep the mussels refrigerated until you're ready to use. Once ready, place them in a large bowl of ice cold water. Scrub the outsides of the mussels and remove the string (or "beard") by using a towel or paper towel to pull it out. Discard any mussels that have opened already. Keep the mussels in the ice water.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once it's melted, stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the curry paste and continue to stir until it's distributed throughout the entire pan of onions. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and stock, stirring until it's smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the mussels and toss. Cover the skillet and cook just until the mussels open, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions. Stir the mussels well so the broth makes it into the shells. Serve immediately with baguettes or thin fries.

SPICY THAI STEAMED MUSSELS



Spicy Thai Steamed Mussels image

Categories     Garlic     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Lime     Mussel     Summer     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 pounds mussels (preferably cultivated)
3 limes
a 13 1/2-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups fresh cilantro sprigs
Accompaniment: lime wedges

Steps:

  • Scrub mussels well and remove beards. Squeeze enough juice from limes to measure 1/3 cup. In an 8-quart kettle boil lime juice, coconut milk, wine, curry paste, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar over high heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add mussels, tossing to combine. Cook mussels, covered, stirring occasionally, until opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any unopened mussels.) Chop cilantro and toss with mussels.
  • Serve mussels with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh mussels. If you can't find fresh mussels, frozen mussels can also be used.
  • Be sure to clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Remove any beards or barnacles, and rinse the mussels under cold water.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when steaming the mussels. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Steamed mussels are done when they are fully open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
  • Serve steamed mussels immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
