Mussels

Grilled Focaccia

Method

Preparing the Mussels

1

Clean the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove the beards (the hairy fibers) from the mussels.

2

Make the Broth

In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add chopped lemongrass and cook for another minute.

3

Add Liquid Ingredients

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, and bring to a simmer. Add lime juice, red chili flakes, and salt to taste.

4

Cook the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

5

Finish with Scallions

Stir in the chopped scallions just before serving.

Grilling the Focaccia

6

Prepare the Focaccia

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the focaccia bread with olive oil on both sides.

7

Grill the Focaccia

Place the focaccia on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the bread is toasted. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh rosemary.
