But to give you some variation and to stimulate your taste buds, I made these Zeeland mussels in curry sauce. And in this case we make the bumbu for the curry itself because that is not very complicated.

I had come up with a scenario outside and all the "props" were ready, and well then it rained! Inside I didn't have my studio ready and you eventually want to eat a little hot food. Because preparing mussels is very fast and photographing is a bit slower and before you know it your food is cold…

Ingredients:

  • 2 kilo Zeeland mussels
  • 1 can of bamboo shoots
  • 1 bag of sugar snap peas
  • 200 ml coconut milk

For the bumbu you will need:

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 Spanish / chili pepper
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 Red pepper
  • salt
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 fresh mint
  • 3 tablespoons wok oil (fragrant oil)
  • peper

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

  • We first make the bumbu, officially you do that in a mortar and grind it into a paste. I opt for a slightly faster option and put everything in a food processor and turn it into a paste. Let it sit for a while and let the flavors infuse.
  • Wash the mussels and take out the broken or open ones.
  • Drain the bamboo shoots, remove the threads from the sugar snap peas and cut them in the middle.
  • Take the large pan, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of bumbu together with the snaps and bamboo shoots and stir-fry for a few minutes. Then add the coconut milk and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the mussels to the pan and put the lid on. Shake well and let it cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Check if the shells are open and serve!
  • Delicious bites!
You can serve naan on the side for a change, you can dip it in the sauce. 
You can also add a spicy sauce to dip the mussels in.
