Ingredients

  • 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled, julienned
  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced on a diagonal
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Toasted country-style bread, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Bring coconut milk, tomatoes, wine, curry paste, and 2 tablespoons basil to a boil in a Dutch oven or other large pot, stirring to incorporate curry paste. Reduce heat and add onion, carrot, and celery; season with salt and pepper.

Bring liquid to a simmer, cover pot, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a medium bowl and set aside.

Return liquid in pot to a simmer. Add mussels to pot, cover, and cook, shaking pot occasionally, until shells open (discard any mussels that do not open), about 4 minutes.

Divide mussels and cooking liquid among bowls, top with reserved vegetables, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons basil, and serve with bread alongside.
