Directions

ORIENTAL PESTO

Place the cleaned mussels in a saucepan, pour over the dry white wine, add the shallot and coriander stalks. Place on a high heat, cover with a tight fitting lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mussels open.

Meanwhile for the pesto, blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor or liquidiser, adding enough oil to form a paste. Drain the cooked mussels in a colander, strain the resulting juices through a fine strainer, return to a clean pan.

Add the oriental pesto to the pan and taste for seasoning. Be careful with salt as the stock will contain a natural amount of salt anyway.

Dress the mussels in a serving bowl, pour over the stock and garnish with the coriander leaves, serve immediately.
