Mussels with Ginger and Coriander

 

Description:

An easy, but very tasty, grown-up starter.
 
 
Ingredients:

450ml fish stock
3cm chunk fresh ginger, sliced finely
1-2 chillies, finely chopped (omit if avoiding nightshades)
1 lime
24-30 mussels (depending on size)
a handful of fresh coriander

 

 
Preparation:

Bring the fish stock to the boil in a deep saucepan.

Add the ginger, chilli and lime juice to the stock, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the mussels, stir and cover for 2 minutes, then stir and cover again for 2 more minutes.

The mussels should all be open by now (discard any that have not opened), add the chopped coriander, stir and serve immediately.


 

 
Notes:

Place fresh mussels in a large bowl of cold water for an hour before cooking, changing the water 2 or 3 times.
Don't forget to put a bowl out for the shells!
