Voorbereiding
Make sure to get Thai basil for these plump and fragrant mussels in coconut milk. Unlike sweet basil, Southeast Asian Thai basil is savoury and spicy and adds a distinct flavour and aroma to the dish.

-
Check for any mussels that are open, if they are, give them a tap. If they don’t close, discard them.
-
Heat the oil in a HexClad 8QT/7.5 L Hybrid Stock Pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, shallots, garlic, chile and lemongrass and cook for 1 minute. Stir in curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
-
Turn heat to high and add mussels, coconut milk and fish sauce. Cover, bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until mussels open. Add lime juice along with most of the basil, saving a little for garnish.
-
Remove and discard any mussels that aren’t open. Serve with rice, garnished with a few basil leaves.
