Recipe
For the coconut reduction, start by crushing the cardamom pods and chopping the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Add to a hot pan, along with the coriander seeds and toast until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and coconut cream and reduce the mixture to approximately 100g. Set aside to keep warm.
In the meantime, add the mussels and white wine to a very hot pan and cover with a lid, allowing the mussels to steam for 2-3 minutes. Give the pan a shake, add 50g water and place the lid back, steaming for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the mussels, reserving the juices. Discard any unopened mussels.
To finish the mussel ‘stew’, heat the oil in a large pan over moderate heat and add the garlic, ginger and chilli and gently sweat for 1-2 minutes. Add the onion, red pepper and coconut reduction and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to reduce for an additional 3 minutes. Add the reserved cooked mussels, and stir in the basil, lime zest and lime juice and season as needed with sea salt.

Best gift ever!
My family knows how much I adore having loved ones around and cooking up a storm - so they know just what to get me when I was given the 4K! So sleek and intricately designed, the quality is ridiculously good.

Dad absolutely loves his new 4K
After doing my research I decided to buy the 4K as Dad’s fiftieth present. Let’s just say he is truly in love. I can only speak from my experience, but the quality of food created from this barbeque is like no other.
