Best Red Curry Mussels And Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipes

THAI RED CURRY MUSSELS

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a heavy Dutch oven on the grates of the grill until shimmering. Add the lemongrass, curry paste, wine, coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice and bring to a simmer, whisking. Add the mussels, cover the pot, and let steam until opened. During the last minute of cooking, add the cilantro and basil. Serve from Dutch oven into individual bowls, discarding the lemongrass.

FIERY SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes on sheet pan until very soft, about 75 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and mash.
• In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk with curry paste over low heat. Mix coconut milk mixture, half the sugar, half the butter and salt into potatoes. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cover and refrigerate up to two days.
• At least 30 minutes before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees. Put potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover, dot with remaining butter and sugar and broil until brown and crusty, checking often to prevent scorching.

SWEET POTATO CURRY WITH MUSSELS

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. When it is hot add the onions, garlic, curry leaves, garam masala, mustard seeds, paprika and turmeric and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and season with salt and pepper. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes, and then add the sweet potatoes, vegetable broth and yogurt. Cover and continue to cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the mussels and replace the lid. Cook until the mussels have opened, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve the mussels with lots of the curry on rice, roti or toasted bread.
