Mussels and Fries

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the fries

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss the cut potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  2. 2

    Cook the mussels

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in curry powder 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 about 5-7 minutes, until the mussels open up. Discard any that do not open.

  4. 4

    Finish the dish

    Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve the mussels with the coconut curry cream alongside the crispy fries.
