Spaghettini And Mussels With Green Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In large heavy-bottomed pot combine the garlic, parsley and olive oil over medium-high heat and sautee until garlic is almost brown.
• Add water and mussels, cover and steam until mussels open.
• Remove mussels and add cornstarch to thicken broth.
• Replace mussels in sauce.
• Serve over fettucine noodles with fresh parm.
• cheese and garlic bread.

Steps:

• Remove any hairy beards from the mussels. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close after being tapped. Add the mussels to a medium bowl and cover with cold water; stir with your hand to remove any sand. Drain and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger, cilantro stems and the white parts of the bok choy. Cook until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and lime zest. Stir to coat the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any unopened mussels). Uncover and reduce the heat to low. Add the green parts of the bok choy and half of the cilantro leaves. Toss to wilt slightly.
• Divide the mussels and sauce among shallow bowls and top with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the toasted baguette slices.

Steps:

• De-beard the mussels and scrub the shells. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped or held under cold water. Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold running water and set aside.
• In a large skillet, gently saute the onion and the garlic in the oil. Add the parsley, wine, stock and hot pepper flakes. Bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer for five minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring four quarts salted water to the boil for the pasta in a large stock pot.
• Add the mussels to the skillet and cook them until they open (about 5 minutes). Test the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook the spaghettini until al dente. Drain and return to the stock pot with the butter. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking.
• Place the pasta in a large heated serving bowl. Pour the mussels and the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Season the tomatoes with salt in a large bowl; let sit 15 minutes. Stir in the mussels, parsley, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil.
• While the tomatoes sit, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water according to the label. Drain, then toss with the tomato-mussels mixture, adding a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen, if needed. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Steps:

• To make a green curry paste, put cilantro, ginger, garlic, chiles, coconut, fish sauce, salt, sugar and lemon grass in a blender or food processor. Blend to a coarse paste, adding a little ice water if necessary.
• Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove the beards. Discard any mussels with broken shells, as well as any that are not tightly closed.
• Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over a medium-high flame. Add the mussels and stir well to coat. Raise the heat to high, add the broth or water, and put on the lid. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the green curry paste, stir well, and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, until all of the mussels have opened. Sprinkle with the scallions.
• Bring the pot to the table and serve in wide soup bowls, ladling some of the broth over the mussels, along with a squeeze of lime juice. Pass the remaining green curry paste separately, if desired.

Steps:

• Scrub the mussels under the faucet and remove the beards, and then set aside.
• In a 6 quart saucepot place butter, flour, wine, lemon juice and clam juice and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the mussels and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered 3 minutes or until mussels are opened. With a slotted spoon remove mussels to 2 or 4 deep serving bowls or dishes and set aside.
• Place the liquid into a blender or food processor and add the parsley, garlic cloves, shallot, salt and pepper and blend well. Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve with a French or Italian bread to sop up the wonderful sauce.
