Description

This is a spicy curried dish that my English husband loves! Great as an appetizer or as a main dish. For less spicy/hot, reduce ginger and/or curry paste. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon green curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon green curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 8 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 ½ pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
  1. 1. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add ginger, green curry paste, lemon zest, and garlic. Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce, water, and lime juice. Bring to a vigorous simmer.
  2. 2. Place mussels in a steamer above simmering sauce; cook until mussels open, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove mussels from heat and place into a large serving bowl.
  3. 3. Place cilantro into the sauce mixture and cook just until it turns bright green, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.
