    Prepare the broth

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Thai red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels open. Stir in lime juice and fresh basil before serving.

    Bake the fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
