Recently I cooked a seafood dinner for ShadowKnight & myself. We started with Wok Cooked Fragrant Mussels made famous by Jamie Oliver. Then followed it with Smashed Potatoes & whole baked Lemon Sole. The fish was marinated in similar flavours to the mussels minus the Lime Juice & Coconut milk. The mussels were my favourite & I am definately making this on Good Friday for those of our family that DO eat seafood. It was absolutely devine! I have made the recipe available for those of you who would like to give it a try. Please enjoy!

Ingredients 

2kg / 4½ lb best live Mussels
Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
3 sticks of Lemon grass, outer leaves removed, finely sliced
2 fresh chillies, red, green or both
3 tablespoons finely sliced ginger
2 handfuls of fresh coriander, pounded or finely chopped
1 tablespoons sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 Spring onions
Juice of 3 limes
1 x 400ml tin of coconut milk Place your mussels with a couple of lugs of olive oil in a large, very hot wok or pot. Shake around and add the rest of the ingredients, apart from the lime juice and coconut milk. Keep turning over until all the mussels have opened - throw away any that remain closed. Squeeze in your lime juice and add your coconut milk. Bring to the boil and serve immediately.
