Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 stalks lemongrass; 4 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced; 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 6 tablespoons chopped peeled ginger; 1/4 cup green curry paste; 2 15-ounce cans coconut milk; 4 tablespoons fish sauce; 6 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded; 4 limes, halved; 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro; Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Directions

Trim the lemongrass, leaving 6 inches at the root end; discard the tops. Smash the stalks with the flat side of a knife and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in each of 2 large pots over medium-high heat. Add 1 sliced onion to each and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add half each of the garlic, lemongrass, ginger and curry paste to each pot and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 can coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1/4 cup water to each pot and bring to a simmer. Divide the mussels between the pots; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels open, about 8 minutes. (Discard any that do not open.) Add the juice of 2 limes to each pot, then add the lime halves. Stir 1/2 cup cilantro into each. Serve with bread, if desired.
