Made this tonight for dinner guests. Ingredients were all in the pantry, didn't have red curry powder so used red curry paste. Just the right spiciness, so easy to make and allowed for a nice relaxed dinner, I made the broth ahead of time, reheated it and added the mussels. Served it with a big fresh green salad and lots of crusty bread. As we were having it for a main, I allowed 8 mussels per person plus a few more and there was still plenty of the broth to go round. Superb quality recipe Dicentra, thankyou for posting and this WILL be made again and again.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
