  • 2 Tablespoons Gourmet Garden Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Gourmet Garden Chili Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Gourmet Garden Lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon Gourmet Garden Ginger
  • Cooking oil
  • 4 stalks scallions sliced finely crosswise
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 5- ounce can of coconut milk
  • 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Gourmet Garden Cilantro
  • 2 pounds mussels washed and debearded
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together chili, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger pastes.
  • Heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add green onions and cook until a vibrant green, about 1 minute. Add the paste mixture and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Quickly add wine, coconut milk, fish sauce, and cilantro. Raise the heat to medium high, and bring the mixture to a boil. Add mussels, cover the pot, and let cook until mussels start opening up, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the mussels and stir!
  • Make sure to have a loaf or two of crusty baguette or bâtard to sop up the delicious broth!
