Method
Method
- Start by checking your mussels and removing any dead ones that remain open after shaking in a colander under some cold running water. Debeard them and then leave in a bowl of ice covered with a damp cloth until you plan to cook them.
- Heat your coconut oil in a large pan and add in all your vegetables and lemongrass. Toss on a high heat and stir in your curry paste, turmeric and chilli.
- Next add in your mussels followed by coconut milk and stock. Then cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 mins until the sauce returns to boiling point and the mussels all steam open. Stir a few times to cook evenly and allow the aromatic ingredients into the open mussels’ shells. Finish with torn Thai basil, lime juice and a splash of soy sauce to season.
