Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Steam open the mussels by placing them in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water. As the water comes to the boil, keep the lid on the pan until all the mussels have popped open. Remove from the pan. Let them cool a little, then remove the top shell of each.
  2. Mix the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper and spoon a little of this on to each mussel.
  3. Crack the coconut open by hitting it hard around the circumference with a hammer or cleaver. Discard the water in the centre and, using a potato peeler or a very sharp knife, cut curls or shreds of coconut flesh.
  4. Top each mussel with a little shredded mint and coconut shreds. Serve at once.
