Coconut Steamed Mussels
Ingredients
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 5 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
  • 2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Combine coconut milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, dry white wine, spicy curry paste, minced garlic, fish sauce, and granulated sugar in a large cooking vessel. Whisk to fully incorporate sugar and curry paste; heat until mixture reaches boiling point. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, then introduce mussels into the pot. Cover and cook, stirring periodically, until the mussels have opened, typically within 5 to 8 minutes.

Take the pot off the heat source and discard any unopened mussels. Transfer the mussels and their accompanying liquid into a serving container, then garnish with chopped cilantro.
