Ingredients

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.

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.
