The broth is absolutely incredible, and makes this dish a winner! Best part… it’s done one 25 minutes! 🌶️🥥 Mussels 2 pounds mussels 1 tbsp coconut oil 2 shallots, finely minced 3 garlic cloves, grated 1 inch ginger, grated 1 stalk lemongrass, cut into 3 inch pieces 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1-2 Thai chili 1 rounded tbsp red curry paste 1.5 cans (15oz cans) full fat coconut milk 1/2 cup seafood stock (or chicken broth) 1 tbsp fish sauce 1 lime, zested and juiced 2 tsp brown sugar 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup torn basil 🥥 Coconut Rice 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed 1 1/4 cups water 1 cup full fat coconut milk Zest from one lime 1 tsp sugar (optional) Pinch of salt Rinse and clean mussels under cold water. Then let them sit in the water with salt and pepper for 30 minutes. In a medium pot, add all the rise ingredients. Stir to distribute evenly, then bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, cover, and let the rice cook for 15-17 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes (covered). Then remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Heat oil over medium heat, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and chili. Cook until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Then add the curry paste and lemongrass. Cook until the chili paste gets deep red in color (30 sec to 1 min), then deglaze with the stock and the coconut milk. Stir until everything is fully combined. Add the lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until combined, and then let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the mussels, and cover. Let the mussels cook for 7 minutes. Then remove the lid, add the cilantro and basil. Stir until combined and let the mussels cook for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add the rice to a bottom of a bowl, and top with mussels and broth. Garnish with more basil and cilantro.
