Steamed Mussels in a Coconut Curry Broth

Yield: serves 2 appropriately, 1 obnoxiously

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2.5 pounds mussels 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 sweet onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons red curry paste 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (lite version is fine too - just won't be as rich) 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken (or seafood) stock 2 green onions, sliced baguettes or bread for serving (or fries!)

Directions:

Keep the mussels refrigerated until you're ready to use. Once ready, place them in a large bowl of ice cold water. Scrub the outsides of the mussels and remove the string (or "beard") by using a towel or paper towel to pull it out. Discard any mussels that have opened already. Keep the mussels in the ice water.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once it's melted, stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the curry paste and continue to stir until it's distributed throughout the entire pan of onions. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and stock, stirring until it's smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the mussels and toss. Cover the skillet and cook just until the mussels open, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions. Stir the mussels well so the broth makes it into the shells. Serve immediately with baguettes or thin fries.
