Coconut Lime Steamed Mussels

6 Dec 2021 by Stephen Duncan

Here’s one for the seafood lovers, Coconut Lime Steamed Mussels. It’s high in protein and a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, zinc and folate.

SERVES: 2        READY IN: 20 MINS

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 stalks green onion (chopped)
  • 2 tbsps ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 907 grams mussels
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)

Method

1. In a large pot with a lid combine the coconut milk, water, cilantro, green onion, lime juice, ginger and coconut aminos. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. 

2. Meanwhile, place mussels in a large colander and rinse with cold water. Discard any broken mussels and remove beards if necessary. 

3. Transfer mussels to the simmering liquid and cover with lid. Let them steam for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until most of the mussels have opened. Transfer the opened mussels to a dish and discard any mussels that have not opened. Season the broth with sea salt, if needed. 

4. To serve, divide between bowls and spoon broth over top of the mussels. Enjoy! 

Notes

Leftovers: Remove cooked mussels from their shells and transfer to an airtight container. Cover the mussels completely in the coconut lime broth and keep refrigerated for one day. 

For more flavour, add garlic or red pepper flakes to the broth.
Additional toppings: Serve with lime wedges, green onion or cilantro. 

No coconut aminos: Use soy sauce or tamari instead of coconut aminos
