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.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out very creamy.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of coconut milk.

The mussels were a bit gritty, but I think that's just because I didn't clean them properly. Next time I'll be sure to scrub them thoroughly before cooking.

I love how easy it was to make this dish. It only took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and most of that time was spent waiting for the mussels to steam. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I didn't have any trouble finding t
