A spiced coconut curry gives mussels a deeper, warmer profile while still keeping enough brightness from tomato and lime to stay lively.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 20 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 2 kg
Oil – 2 tbsp
Onion – 1, chopped
Garlic – 3 cloves, chopped
Ginger – 20 g, chopped
Tomato – 2, chopped
Curry powder – 2 tsp
Turmeric – 1/2 tsp
Coconut milk – 400 ml
Water – 150 ml
Lime juice – 1 tbsp
Fresh coriander – 2 tbsp, chopped
Salt – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Prepare and clean the mussels before starting the curry base.
STEP 2
Heat the oil in a wide pot and cook the onion until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another minute.
STEP 3
Stir in the chopped tomato, curry powder and turmeric and cook until the tomato starts to break down and the spices smell fully opened up.
STEP 4
Pour in the coconut milk and water and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes so the flavours blend.
STEP 5
Add the mussels, cover and steam until they open.
STEP 6
Finish with lime juice and coriander just before serving, so the final flavour stays bright.
