Directions
- Chipotle Mussels with Orange and Cilantro Mayonnaise
- Wine, this year featuring Mark Miller, of the Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, and the following recipe, that was reprinted in the Sunday Age of 12 March.
- Note 1: "coriander" in Australia refers to the fresh leaves as well as the dry seeds, (ie "cilantro" in the US).
- Note 2: (for other Melbourne readers... hi Luke, hi Pete... canned chipotle is available from David Jones, Daimaru and Aztec Mexican Products [330 1733]).
- Place mussels in a large pot with garlic, orange rind, chipotle and water.
- Cover, bring to boil and steam for four min. Remove pan from heat and leave for five min; the mussels should now be open. Remove mussels, discarding any which haven't opened, and keep them covered in a hot place.
- Boil liquid till it has reduced by half, then add in oil and orange juice.
- Remove top shell from each mussel, and divide mussels between four deep bowls. Add in broth and garnish with a Tbsp. of orange-and-coriander mayonnaise and fresh coriander.
- Orange-and coriander Mayonnaise: Whip the egg yolk in a glass or possibly stainless steel bowl till a light lemon colour. Transfer to a blender and add in the oil, drop by drop with the motor running, for the first 1/4 c.. Add in the remainder in a slow, steady stream, mixing at high speed till emulsified.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and blend together. Let sit for at least one hour to allow the orange flavour to develop. John Moore, Melbourne, Australia
