Sweet Thai Mussels

Ingredients

• 2 lb (1 kg) fresh PEI Mussels
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) white wine
• 1 tsp (5 mL) finely chopped red onions
• 4 Tbsp (60 mL) sweet Thai chili sauce
• 2 Tbsp (30 mL) fresh chopped cilantro

Method

1. 1

   Rinse fresh PEI Mussels under tap water. Tap any mussels that are still open and discard any that do not close after being tapped and rinsed. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a sauté pan place your mussels then add the white wine, red onions, sweet chili sauce and the cilantro.

3. 3

   Finish with the squeeze lime and drop it on top.

4. 4

   Cover pan and allow to steam until mussels start to open up.

5. 5

   Sauté the pan occasionally to ensure the chili sauce coats all the mussels. Discard any mussels that do not open.

6. 6

   Serve mussels and sauce in a large oval bowl. For extra zing, try adding freshly squeezed lime to the dish. Serve with your favorite bread for dipping in that incredible sauce.
