Directions
Steamed Mussels With Coconut Milk and Thai Chiles, From Food and Wine Magazine – These mussels make a great appetizer or add some crusty sourdough bread and a salad and make a meal They are just a litte sweet and just the right amount of spicy! Use a good lager to increase the great flavors Food and Wine says: Tyler Florence likes making this one-pot dish for parties because it requires so little cleanup He simply steams plump mussels in lager, then tosses them in a creamy, spicy, slightly tart sauce made with ginger, chiles, coconut milk and lime juice The result is a Thai-inflected version of the French classic , This is a fantastic recipe! I decided to make it into an entree I made the paste the morning of with little issue (I do not recommend using a Vitamix — it was too large I had to use our smaller bullet to get the ingredients to the correct consistency) We like food a tad more spicy, so I added ONE extra Thai Chili and a bit more fresh ginger With just a few tweaks, I ended up with tons of broth adorning approximately 4 pounds of mussels, a few springs of cilantro for good measure, and loads of fresh bread toasted and drizzled with olive oil to dunk This was a pre-Father’s Day dinner hit I will be making it again! Cheers

Note: Beer: Since This Thai-Influenced Recipe Calls For Lager, a Thai Lager Would Be a Natural Accompaniment. Consider the Hoppy Singha Lager from Boon Rawd Brewery, Which Has Been Making Beer in Thailand For 72 Years. |
