Mussels Steamed In Coconut Milk, Lime And Cilantro
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 5 -6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 red chili peppers, deseeded and chopped
- 2 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 limes, juice only
- 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 4 1/2 lbs mussels, scrubbed
- Put the onion, garlic, chili peppers, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and cilantro into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for about 8 minutes or until the onions are cooked.
- Check that all the mussels are tightly closed. If one is open, tap it - if it closes it's good, but if any stay open, throw those ones out.
- When the onions are cooked in the saucepan, throw in all the good mussels, put the lid on and cook until the mussels are widely open.
- Serve the mussels in their shells with the broth and some garlic bread.
