Mussels

Frites

Method

Cooking the Mussels

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any that are open or broken.

  2. 2

    Make the Curry Sauce

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the curry paste and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Coconut Milk and Mussels

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Preparing the Frites

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    In a bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Frites

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  4. 8

    Garnish

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
