Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Curry Powder

    Stir in the mild curry powder and cook for another minute to release the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Coconut Milk and Mussels

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover the pot, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.

  5. 5

    Season and Garnish

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the curried mussels into bowls and serve with grilled bread on the side for dipping.
