Curried Mussels with Mushrooms Preparation
Whole shelled mussels in a white curry sauce along with slices of button mushrooms and other goodies. The curry isn’t what we would normally think of as a curry, there isn’t any curry powder called for (though it would probably be good).
1: Scrub mussels under cold running water; remove beards. Combine mussels and water in large saucepan, cover, bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain mussels, remove and discard shells; reserve mussels.
2: Place chillies in small bowl, cover with boiling water, let stand for 10 minutes; drain and chop chillies. Heat ghee in medium frying pan, add chillies, ginger, garlic, lemon grass and shallots, stir over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until shallots are soft.
3: Stir in coconut milk, sauce and sugar, bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Blend flour with extra water, stir into mushroom mixture, stir over high heat until sauce boils and thickens.
4: Stir in mussels and basil, stir over medium heat until heated through.
Serves 4.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
