JAZZY RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
SOME PREP
While the rice is boiling, rinse and roughly chop the coriander. Peel and grate the ginger. Peel and dice ½ the onion, reserving the remaining ½ for another meal. Deseed and thinly slice ½ the pepper, reserving the remaining ½ for another meal. Zest the lime and cut into wedges.
CURRY BASE
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated ginger and fry for a minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add ½ the curry paste (to taste) and fry for a minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the sliced pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, shifting occasionally.
LOAD IT UP
Once the peppers have slightly softened, add the coconut milk, the mussels, and the remaining curry paste if you would like a spicier curry (be careful, it’s hot!). Stir until fully combined and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the mussels are heated through, stirring occasionally.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the curry has finished simmering, add the lime zest, the juice of 1 lime wedge, ½ the chopped coriander, the peas, a sweetener of choice (to taste), and seasoning.
FLEX THOSE MUSSELS!
Dish up the steaming rice and ladle over the mussel coconut curry. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and the sesame seeds. Serve any remaining lime wedges on the side.
