- Note: To prepare mussels for cooking, scrub hard and remove whiskers. Place mussels in a shallow pan of cool water, sprinkle with a little cornmeal and let sit for 1 hour.
- Mussels will usually feed on the cornmeal and purge themselves of sand.
- Heat butter in large saucepan. Add in water, onion, apple, garlic and ginger. Cover tightly and cook over medium heat till soft, about 8 min. Watch carefully to prevent scorching.
- Stir in wine, cider, brandy, saffron, curry pwdr, lemon zest, thyme and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; simmer till liquid is reduced by 1/4. Stir in cream and lemon juice. (Recipe can be made ahead to this point. Chill, covered, then return to saucepan and return to a simmer just before cooking mussels.)
- Add in mussels to pan. Cover and cook just till shells open, about 2 min. Sauce will come to a full boil. Reduce heat; toss mussels with sauce. Serve immediately.
- Yields 4 appetizer servings.
- Tester's note: Excellent recipe. Serve with good French bread to dip in the sauce.
