Asian flavors add some heat to the classic French dish moules marinières. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 1/2 cups chopped green onions (about 10 large) |
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 cup sake |
6 thai bird chiles with seeds or 3 small serrano chiles with seeds, sliced crosswise into thin rounds |
2 teaspoons soy sauce |
3 large garlic cloves, pressed |
2 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded |
Directions:
1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add green onions and sauté until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients. Bring to boil. Add mussels. Cover pot and increase heat to high. Cook until mussels open, 5 to 6 minutes.
2. Divide mussels among bowls (discard any mussels that do not open). Boil juices in pot to reduce slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over mussels; serve.
