Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp peanut oil
1 1/2 kg mussels , beards removed and scrubbed well
2 small white onions, sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp lemongrass, if using jar (1 tbsp chopped fresh, but finely chopped )
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp green curry paste
600 ml coconut cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp thick tamarind paste
2 tsp fish sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped coarsely
125 g snow peas
150 g bean sprouts
4 green onions, sliced thinly

Directions:

In a large saucepan boil some water, pour mussels in and boil until mussels open, drain and discard any that haven't opened. Set to one side, wash out pan.
Using the same large saucepan pan, Add the oil,onions, garlic, ginger and lemongrass, cook, stirring until onion is soft. Add the paste, cook, stirring until fragrant.
Add the rest of the ingredients, down to and including the water. Bring to a boil then turn down the heat to a simmer, leave to simmer about 5-10 Min's, to allow the flavours to come through.
While the sauce is simmering, remove meat from about half of the mussels, this makes for ease of eating and presentation, otherwise you're eating a bowl full of shells.
Return remaining mussels and mussel meat to pan along with the vegetables and coriander, reserving the green onions for garnish, cook stirring until sprouts are just wilted and mussels are heated through.
To serve: Pour spoonfuls of curry into serving bowls and sprinkle with green onions. if you want carbs serve over steamed jasmine rice.
