Curry Cream Mussels Ingredients
2 lb mussels, cleaned
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup dry cider
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp butter
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 fresh dill sprigs (opt)
1 hot crusty bread
Curry Cream Mussels Directions
Place cleaned mussels in a saucepan with water, cider, thyme and
garlic. Cover and cook over high heat, shaking pan frequently, 6-7
minutes or until shells open. Discard any mussels which remain
closed. Cool mussels in liquid. Drain off cooled liquid, strain
through a fine sieve and reserve. Discard thyme. Remove a half shell
from each mussel and arrange mussels on 4 serving plates.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add shallots and celery and cook gently 5
minutes. Add Curry Powder and flour and cook 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup
of reserved liquid. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover and
cook gently 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool. Stir in
half-and-half and mayonnaise and mix well. Spoon sauce over mussels
and garnish with dill sprigs, if desired. Serve with bread.
Serves: 4

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain
Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your meals be a poem, like your dress.
