Mouclade~French Mussels in Creamy Curry Sauce

Serves 4 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 30 minutes   Rated:

A French curry? Surprisingly yes, and soooo good. Although we have not created our own French curry powder or Vadouvan for this recipe, it is intended that you would in fact use that French Indian curry blend which originated with French Colonialism back in the 1700's. But that story is a different blog!

We (as usual) were in a bit of a hurry and used a commercial curry powder and I have to say, this may be one of my favourite new sauces of the year. It is going to definitely show up in some other recipes. Rest assured. In the meantime, I trust you will enjoy this amazing dish. Curry, no hurry!
