1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the fresh mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove beards if necessary.
2
Prepare the Leeks
Slice the leeks thinly and rinse them under cold water to remove any grit. Drain well.
3
Cook the Base
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
4
Add Mussels and Coconut Milk
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot along with the coconut milk and Old Bay seasoning. Stir to combine.
5
Steam the Mussels
Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.
6
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the mussels with grilled focaccia on the side for dipping.
