Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon lightly crumbled saffron threads

Steps:

  • Cook onion, garlic, and ginger in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened. Stir in wine, juices, curry powder, thyme, saffron, bay leaf, coconut milk, tomato, and sambal oelek, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, about 15 minutes.

This recipe was just okay. The mussels were a bit overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this dish again.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I added some more vegetables to the dish, such as carrots and celery, and it turned out great. I have already recommended this recipe to
