Made this for some friends for "Thai Night." It was DELICIOUS, and pretty easy. I can't wait to make it again. We needed two large baguettes for the sauce...it was amazing.

Great. I love the combination of mussels and a spicy sauce. You need a lot of bread to dip up the delicious sauce. The cilantro adds a fresh note. I used more curry paste, because I like it spicy and it was great. Thanks for sharing.

This tasted great! I used a small can of diced tomatoes in place of the plum tomatoes (I didnt have time) and used 2 tbsp of the curry to spice it up. Thanks for posting.

Really, Really good. Cut the recipe in half and only added 1 tsp. of curry paste so my kids would eat. Lots of sauce, at it with a loaf of Calabrese. Will eat the leftover sauce with rice tommorow....
