Mussels With Chili Garlic And Basil
Adjust the heat to your own taste using more or less chilies. The two of us have this as a main dish with rice or with nice bread and a simple salad. Or serve it as part of a thai meal.
Steps
Make a paste from the chilies , garlic and coriander using a mortar or small food processor.
Stir fry this paste in a wok or frying pan with the oil for about one minute , use a pan you have a lid for and large enough to hold the mussels.
Add the oyster and fish sauce , stir and then add the stock and the mussels.
Cover and cook on a medium heat , or until the mussels have opened and are cooked.
Taste the sauce or it needs extra fish sauce or water.
Stir in the basil , arrange the mussels on a dish , discard any mussel that has not opened and pour the sauce over them.
