Spicy coconut mussels
















Ingredients
1 pint fresh mussels
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp Thai red curry paste
200ml tinned coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Clean and de-beard the mussels, discard any open ones if they don't close when you tap them on a hard surface.

Heat the oil in a wok, over a moderate heat.

Add the shallots and chilli, cook gently for 5 minutes.

Add the curry paste and cook for a further minute.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil, add the mussels to the pan and cover with a lid, cook for 4-5 minutes  until  the shells have opened, shaking the pan occasionally.

Discard any mussels still closed after cooking.

Serve with a wedge of lime and hot Nann bread strips.
