Mussels With Lemongrass Recipes

Steps:

• For the mussels: Preheat a large lidded saucepan or moules (mussels) pot with the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic. Saute until soft and fragrant, 5 minutes. Add the cilantro stems, lime zest, lime juice, chiles and lemongrass and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mussels, beer, coconut milk and lime leaves, then cover and allow to steam until the mussels open, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the fish sauce and stir to combine. Discard any mussels that do not open. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
• For the toasted bread: Preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat with a little vegetable oil. Add the baguette slices and toast on both sides until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rub with the garlic clove. Serve alongside the mussels.

Steps:

• In a 5- to 6-quart heavy kettle bring wine and cream to a boil with garlic, shallot, lemongrass, and curry powder. Add mussels and cook, covered, over moderately high heat 4 to 6 minutes, or until opened, discarding any unopened ones and lemongrass. Using a slotted spoon divide mussels among 4 bowls.
• Add to liquid remaining in kettle scallion, butter, and salt and pepper to taste, stirring until butter is incorporated, and spoon over mussels.

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot add the mussels and cook for 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the bell pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallots. Stir for 1 minute and then add the beer, cream, peas, basil, lemon juice, crab base and hot sauce. Continue to stir until the mussels are completely open, then let simmer until the sauce is reduced by a quarter, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with crusty French bread, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Wash the mussels under the tap and leave to drain. Cut chilli peppers into thin strips, throw away seeds. Chop garlic, cut lemongrass into 4 cm pieces.
• 2. In a large pot mix water, lime juice and wine (optional); add the garlic, lemon grass, chilli, fish sauce and sugar. Bring to boiling and add mussels. Stir thoroughly, cover and cook for 6 minutes.
• 3. Sprinkle mussels with chopped coriander, stir and serve when they're still steaming - preferably in a pot in which they were prepared. Enjoy your meal! :).
