Coconut Broth Mussels

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Serve over steamed rice or rice noodles — you’ll want to sop up every bit of the mussels' creamy, flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 6-inch stalks lemongrass, halved and smashed
  • 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Preparation

  1. Put all the ingredients, except the cilantro, into the steaming pot without the tray. Stir; secure lid.
  2. Select Seafood, set timer for 10 minutes, and press Start/Stop. Mussels are ready when the shells have opened. Add additional time if necessary.
  3. Once mussels are ready, remove the lid. Discard any mussels that have not opened. Stir in the cilantro, and then serve immediately.
