Categories     Mussels

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large onion, chopped
5 -6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 red chili peppers, deseeded and chopped
2 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 limes, juice only
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
4 1/2 lbs mussels, scrubbed

Steps:

  • Put the onion, garlic, chili peppers, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and cilantro into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for about 8 minutes or until the onions are cooked.
  • Check that all the mussels are tightly closed. If one is open, tap it - if it closes it's good, but if any stay open, throw those ones out.
  • When the onions are cooked in the saucepan, throw in all the good mussels, put the lid on and cook until the mussels are widely open.
  • Serve the mussels in their shells with the broth and some garlic bread.
