Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup prepared mayonnaise, store-bought or home-made
1 small roasted red pepper, peeled, seeded and pureed
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 poblano chiles, roasted, seeded, peeled and pureed
2 cups clam broth
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 cup dry white wine
2 pounds cultivated black mussels, beard removed and scrubbed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
French bread, heated, for serving
6 large Idaho potatoes, peeled
1 quart vegetable or peanut oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the mussels: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the poblano puree and clam broth and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Add the coconut milk and honey and cook until reduced by half. Transfer the mixture to a blender (rinse out the pan) add the spinach, salt and pepper, to taste, and blend until smooth. Place the pan back on the stove over high heat. Add the wine to the pot, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the green chile broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the mussels, cover the pot and cook until the mussels open, discarding any that do not, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon into bowls, garnish with more parsley, if desired, and serve with bread on the side.
  • For the French Fries: Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices then cut each slice into 1/4-inc thick fries. Place the fries in a large bowl of cold water. Heat the oil in a large, straight-sided skillet to 325 degrees F. Drain fries in batches on paper towels. Fry each batch for 3 to 4 minutes until a pale blonde color and remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels. Increase the heat of the oil to 375 degrees F and fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown. Remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • For the Aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, pepper, chipotle, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve the fries with the aioli alongside the mussels.

SPICY COCONUT MUSSELS WITH LEMONGRASS



Spicy Coconut Mussels With Lemongrass image

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons coconut or safflower oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed (outer layers removed) and finely chopped
1/2 to 1 small hot chile (like Thai bird, Serrano, Scotch bonnet or jalapeño), seeded and finely chopped
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 pounds fresh mussels, rinsed well
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Asian fish sauce, or to taste
1/2 cup whole cilantro leaves
1 or 2 croissants, split in half.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mussels. Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and smell briny. If a mussel is open, tap it gently on the counter. If it closes, it is still alive and safe to eat. If it remains open, discard it.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly. Use a stiff brush to scrub off any dirt or grit from the shells. Be sure to remove the beards, which are the small, fibrous strands that protrude from the mussels.
  • Steam the mussels until they are just cooked through. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery. To check if the mussels are done, use a fork to gently pry open a shell. The mussel is cooked when the meat is opaque and the edges are slightly curled.
  • Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best enjoyed when they are hot and juicy. Serve them with a dipping sauce, such as melted butter, garlic butter, or a spicy tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

Steamed mussels with chipotles and coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The mussels are steamed in a flavorful broth made with coconut milk, chipotles, and lime juice. The result is a tender and succulent dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
