Curry Cream Mussels

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

2 lb Mussels, cleaned
2/3 c Water
2/3 c Dry cider
3 Sprigs fresh thyme
1 Garlic clove, crushed
2 tb Butter
3 Shallots, finely chopped
1 Stalk celery, finely chopped
1 tb Curry Powder
1 tb All-purpose flour
1/4 c Half-and-half

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.
