Today’s Recipe: Exotic Thai Coconut Mussels

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share a new recipe with you today that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner party. These Exotic Thai Coconut Mussels are bursting with bold flavors and will transport your taste buds to the streets of Thailand.

To make this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 kg fresh mussels
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 2 stalks lemongrass
• 2 tbsp red curry paste
• 4 kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp palm sugar
• Handful of fresh coriander

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• large pot
• saucepan
• wooden spoon

Start by cleaning the mussels thoroughly under cold water, removing any beards or debris. In a large pot, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Add the lemongrass (bruised with a knife), red curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.

Next, add the mussels to the pot and cover with a lid. Let the mussels steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed. Remove the lemongrass stalks and kaffir lime leaves from the pot.

Sprinkle fresh coriander over the mussels and give everything a gentle stir to combine all the flavors. Serve the Exotic Thai Coconut Mussels hot in bowls, with some crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious broth.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200 grams, with 4 servings at 300 grams each. One serving of these flavorful mussels is roughly 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to heat the coconut milk slowly to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth broth. This will give your dish a velvety texture that is truly luxurious.

I hope you give these Exotic Thai Coconut Mussels a try soon and enjoy the exotic flavors they bring to your table. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite seafood or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
