Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tbsp of thai green curry paste
1 stalk of lemongrass chopped length-wise first, then into 1 inch lengths
1 tbsp of oil
a box of mussels
1/4 cup of white wine
1/2 cup of chicken stock
1/2 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tbsp of brown sugar
1-2 limes, depending on your taste
1/4 cup of cilantro
Instructions:
1) Melt the butter in a metal pan large enough to contain all the mussels on medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is starting to bubble, add the garlic. Fry the garlic for 1-2 mins to get the flavour out.
2) Add the onions, thai curry paste, lemongrass, oil to the pan and fry for about 5 mins or until the onions have softened on medium-high heat.
3) While the pan is hot, add the mussels and toss around quickly before adding in the wine. It should be sizzling at this point. Toss around for about a minute before adding in the chicken broth and fish sauce. Continue to stir the mussels around as they cook.
4) Once all the mussels have opened up, add the sugar, lime, cilantro. Give it a quick stir, then serve.
