How to Make Mussels In Spicy Coconut Broth

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped red chili (remove seeds for less heat), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 inch piece of ginger, grated. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add 2 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded.
  4. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Ladle the mussels and broth into two bowls.
  7. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
