Broccoli and Mussel Curry, fragrant and delicious!

Broccoli and Mussel Curry is a great way to occasionally switch out from my classic Italian style of cooking. I prefer a curry that has a hint of Thai flavors so I like to make mine with coconut milk.

I had some fresh mussels and broccoli on hand and decided they would go together beautifully in a curry. It worked great and was a wonderful flavor pairing so this will now be one of my standard curry dishes. Roman broccoli and Sicilian broccoli both work well in this recipe.
