Ingredients
Method
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Add garlic, shallots, hot pepper, and curry powder to the butter. Sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in the chadon beni, pearl onions, and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Add the mussels and stir gently to coat them in the seasoned coconut milk sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and heat the mussels according to the package instructions until thoroughly heated.
- Allow the liquid to thicken slightly. If it gets too dry, add a splash of white wine.
- Make sure the mussels are heated thoroughly before serving. If using fresh, raw mussels, cook them fully and discard any that remain closed after cooking.
- Stir in the black pepper, then taste the sauce and adjust the salt as needed.
- Sprinkle in chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve hot with toasted bread or pasta.

Notes
Using frozen, fully cooked mussels: Follow the package instructions for preparation and heating. Heat until thoroughly hot throughout. Shell opening alone isn't a reliable way to determine whether precooked mussels are heated.
Using fresh, raw mussels: Scrub and debeard before cooking. Discard cracked shells and any open mussels that don't close when tapped. Cook thoroughly, and discard any that remain closed after cooking.
