Caribbean Coconut Mussels


By Views from the Rock (Visit website)





...........................................................................scroll for German version

This is one of three recipes I got from Tobago (the pumpkin soup was posted earlier), in this case it's my favourite seafood: Mussels. Although a great fan of the classic way of steaming them (by the way, have you tried adding butter and freshly chopped mint to the stock?), I became a huge fan of the Caribbean way of seasoning things. This version here simply puts an exotic sharpness to things and in summer, there is no better way of training your taste-buds...

Ingredients
1 kg Mussels
3 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ginger-puree or freshly grated
Lime zests
1 onion
4 tomatoes
2 tsp coriander freshly chopped
2 tsp chili-paste
½ tsp turmeric
100 ml white wine
2 tbsp lime juice
150 ml fish-stock
150 ml coconut milk
Oil (sesame or corn depending on your taste)
freshly ground pepper

Prepare the ingredients...
...clean mussels, discard opened. Finely slice onions, grate the garlic, peel and dice the tomatoes. Heat oil in a wok and quickly stir-fry onions, lime-zests, garlic and ginger until golden, then add chili-paste and give it another quick turn before adding the wine and lime juice. Now add tomatoes, coriander and turmeric and let cook for a few minutes, then add coconunt milk and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and add mussels, let simmer for about 10 minutes or until ready. Serve in nice pottery plates with naan bread and season with pepper.
As a suitable and comforting wine a Chilenean Syrah always goes nicely with such tasty things.

Karibische Kokos-Muscheln

Dies Rezept ist eines von dreien, die ich aus Tobago mitgebracht habe (die Kuerbissuppe ist weiter unten zu finden). Da ich Meeresfruechte liebe, hat es mir besonders die afrikanisch-indische Art der Zubereitung in der Karibik angetan. In diesem Fall weniger kokos-exotisch aber auf jeden Fall eine scharfe Angelegenheit, Muscheln mal anders und vor allem schaerfer zu geniessen.

Zutaten
1 kg Miesmuscheln
3 Knoblauchzehen
1 EL Ingwerpuree (oder frisch gerieben)
Zesten von der Limettenschale
1 Zwiebel
4 Strauchtomaten
2 EL Koriander, frisch gehackt
2 TL Chilipaste
½ TL Kurkuma
100 ml Weisswein
2 EL Limettensaft
150 ml Fischfond
150 ml Kokosmilch
Oel (Sesam oder Mais je nach Geschmack)
Pfeffer, frisch gemahlen

Die Zutaten vorbereiten...
...die Muscheln säubern, die Zwiebel in feine Ringe schneiden, die Knoblauchzehen in feine Scheiben schneiden, die Tomaten in klein würfeln. Im Wok das Öl (z.B. Maisöl) erhitzen, Zwiebeln, Limetten-Zesten, Ingwer und Knoblauch darin anbraten. Sobald alles Farbe nimmt, mit dem Wein ablöschen. Die Tomaten, den Koriander, Kurkuma und die Chilipaste dazugeben und ein paar Minuten unter ständigem Rühren kochen lassen. Die Brühe einrühren, aufkochen lassen, Hitze etwas reduzieren, die Muscheln dazugeben. 5-10 Minuten zugedeckt kochen lassen. Den Sud mit etwas Pfeffer abschmecken. Die Muscheln auf den Tellern verteilen und die Sauce darüber geben.
Dazu passt Weißbrot und ein guter (z.B chilenischer Weiss-)Wein.
