3 lbs mussels, with shells
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic, diced finely
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 teaspoons saffron threads
1 cup Clamato juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup spring onion, diced
3 teaspoons madras hot curry powder
3 teaspoons madras mild curry powder
1 1/2 cups fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste

1
Place mussels in pan of fresh water so they will expel out any sand & grit while you make the cooking broth. (leave for 15-20 minutes).
2
Melt butter in heavy pan (I use an enameled cast iron one). Saute garlic until translucent.
3
Add wine and saffron, simmer for a couple of minutes on medium heat.
4
Add clamato juice, curry powders, green onions, tomatoes.
5
Continue simmering on low, and add a bit of sea salt and additional curry powder if you like to taste (if you like it with more heat, you can also add a little freshly chopped chili pepper).
6
While broth gently simmers, remove mussels one at a time from soak, scrub with a soft brush, and rinse with fresh water, (don't just dump into a collander as the grit they expel will follow -- ).
7
When mussels are cleaned, add to broth and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes (until shells are fully opened). Discard any mussels that do not open. Place in serving bowls and ladle broth over. Serve with hot fresh baguette or other rustic bread.
