Method
- Rinse the mussels in cold water, removing the beards. Throw away any that have broken shells or don’t close when tapped.
- Place the onions in a large, deep pan with 250ml boiling water and bubble over a high heat for 5 minutes, until the water is reduced.
- Add the oil, chilli, garlic, lemongrass and ginger and stir until the onions turn slightly golden. Add the lager and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the mussels to the pan and cover tightly with a lid. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until all the mussels have opened, shaking the pan occasionally. Discard any mussels that haven’t opened.
- Add the coriander and lime juice and serve with some crusty bread and lime wedges to squeeze over.
