Mussels in Coconut Curry Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Make the coconut curry sauce

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Combine ingredients

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels and cover the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Finish and serve

    Stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Serve hot with slices of focaccia bread on the side for dipping.
