Maine Mussels

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open.

  2. 2

    Cook the aromatics

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add diced anaheim peppers and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add liquids and curry

    Pour in the ES pilsner and coconut milk, then stir in the red curry paste. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels are opened. Discard any that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish and serve

    Stir in fresh cilantro and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot with toasted rye bread and lime wedges on the side.
