Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

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

2

Prepare Aromatics

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, and shallots. Slice the lemongrass stalks into thin rounds.

3

Cook Aromatics

In a large pot, add a bit of oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, ginger, shallots, and lemongrass until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add Liquids

Pour in the cider and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.

5

Cook Mussels

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

6

Season and Serve

Season with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir in fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot.
