Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 yellow onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2/3 cup low-salt chicken broth or fish stock
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, (more if desired)
  • 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded

  • 48 clams, scrubbed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

In a large, heavy-based skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and onion and saute over moderate heat, stirring often, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add the salt, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne; stir to distribute the spices evenly. Cook the spices for about 1 minute.

Add the broth or stock, the coconut milk, and the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add the mussels or clams. Cover the pan until the shellfish open, about 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels or clams that don\'t open after cooking.) Serve with your favorite rice or noodles.
