3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 stalks lemon grass, trimmed of woody ends and roughly chopped
2 shallots, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1/4 cup tom yum
2 cups sake
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 quarts chicken stock or canned chicken broth
4 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
1 medium tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the broth was delicious. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
