Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp canola oil
1 to 2 each, red and green jalapenos, sliced into thin rings
2 tbsp garlic, chopped
1/2 cup shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup green papaya , julienned
2 tbsp lemongrass, finely chopped
1 lb mussels cleaned and de-bearded
1 cup red and yellow cherry tomatoes ( equal parts), sliced in half
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup cilantro, leaves only

In a non-reactive saucepan, coated with the canola oil over medium-high heat, saute the jalapenos, garlic, shallots, green papaya, and lemongrass until the shallots are soft, about three minutes.

Immediately pour the mussels with broth into a large bowl and garnish with the scallion greens. Beverage: Gewurtztraminer
