50 ml rapeseed oil
400ml coconut milk
Juice of 2 limes
Salt
100ml white wine
400g mussels, scrubbed

Step 1: In a food processor, combine the garlic, chilis, ginger, lime zest and olive oil and process to a paste; transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in the coconut milk and lime juice and season with salt.
Step 2: Heat a large pot until very hot, add in the mussels and wine cover for 30 seconds
