Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the mussels

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the vegetables

    Dice the tomato and jalapeno pepper, and add them to the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Introduce the coconut milk

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

  5. 5

    Cook the 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. 6

    Finish with cilantro

    Stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the coconut curry mussels hot with slices of sourdough bread on the side for dipping.
