  1. Thai green curry mussels Method 1. For the green curry paste: place all of the curry paste ingredients into a food processor and blend until very smooth.

  2. For the mussels: check for dead mussels by tapping them firmly on the work surface – discard if they do not close.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan and fry three tablespoons of the curry paste for 1-2 minutes, or until aromatic. Add the mussels, stirring to coat in the curry paste, then add the coconut milk, palm sugar and lime leaves. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels have opened (discard any that remain shut).

  4. Stir in the basil and reserved coriander leaves and toss the mussels to ensure that they are well-coated in the curry mixture. Serve the mussels in shallow bowls.
