Green Curry Mussels with Ginger and Coriander

When I found these cleaned ready to cook Mussels, the first thing I wanted to do was to eat them with some chilli. After I had cooked them with a Thai Green curry broth I flipped over the pack to find a Green Curried Mussel Recipe on the back. I had to laugh. Australia how you love Thai Food!.

I particularly like mussels with chilli. At one time I spent 3 months living in Thailand on Cheweng beach, doing a bit of work in the kitchen and talking people at the ferry into coming to stay at “our” place. Each time there was a full moon I would go to the market buy mussels, chilli, lime, ginger, garlic & sometimes a local curry paste, I’d cook up a wok full of mussels and share them with who ever was staying at the time. After mussels we headed off to dance and drink Mekong Whisky. What a life! When I left Chaweng beach I tied the wok to the back of my back pack and each time I picked up my pack or put it down the wok swung out and hit whoever was in it’s radius.

Quick easy and delicious, sure beats eating Mussels with tomato and wine. Give this one a go serving with rice or throw some cooked Quinoa or barley into the sauce before serving

    Great recipe – I love mussels too. I’ve just posted on my blog ‘The Good the Bad and the Italian’ about my Italian foraging for mussels in Sydney in the 1960s. Enjoy. http://ambradambra.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/working-out-for-our-mussels/

    I really do enjoy mussels but am pretty much in a rut when it comes to preparing them. This green curry recipe sounds great and would make the perfect way to shake things up. I’m not so sure I can find cleaned, frozen mussels but I can get fresh anytime. If I can shave my face I can de-beard a few mussels — probably with less blood shed. (Note I said probably.) 🙂

      Thats funny John, I am sure you can shave mussels without blood shed. The mussels we get here are not frozen but fresh, cleaned and then packaged. So start shaving if you can’t find these

    There’s something so satisfying about a big bowl of mussel isn’t there? Funny about the wok hitting everyone – at least you had a self defence strategy if ever required.

    I have never seen or tried green curry mussels! What a great idea though – they are so often served with tomato /chilli but this would be a lovely alternative.
