Notes

TIPS: Pot-ready (uncooked) mussels have been scrubbed and most of the beards (furry bits around the edges) removed. They are available from the seafood counter of most supermarkets or your local fishmonger. Before cooking, discard any open shells that do not clamp shut when gently squeezed (let them warm up slightly first) or have an unpleasant odour. Contrary to popular belief, mussels that do not open when cooked but still smell okay are still fine to eat. Even if mussels have been cleaned, there may be leftover beards. To remove them, hold mussels under running water and use your fingers to pull beards off towards the hinge end of the shell. Zucchini spaghetti (zoodles) can be done using a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create long thin strips, or zoodles and shredded carrot are sold in packets in the fresh produce section of most supermarkets. Add it: ¼ cup (60ml) reduced-fat coconut milk at end of Step 1. Swap it: Mussels for vongole (clams).
