Chipotle adds smoke rather than brute heat, and lime keeps the whole pot energetic enough to stay unmistakably shellfish-led.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 25 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 1.8 kg
Olive oil – 2 tbsp
Onion – 1, chopped
Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
Chipotle in adobo – 1 to 2 peppers, chopped
Tomatoes – 2, chopped
White wine or light stock – 150 ml
Lime juice – 2 tbsp
Fresh coriander – 3 tbsp, chopped
Black pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Clean the mussels and judge how many chipotles you want to use before you start. One pepper gives smoke, two gives a more forceful heat.
STEP 2
Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until soft. Add the chipotle and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes begin to break down.
STEP 3
Pour in the wine or stock and bring the broth to a steady simmer.
STEP 4
Add the mussels, cover and steam until opened.
STEP 5
Finish with lime juice and coriander. This is excellent with warm bread, but also with tortillas for dipping.
