Very Simple Moroccan-Spiced Chicken and Rice

This six-ingredient, one-pot wonder has been a long-time favorite recipe of mine, one I never imagined straying from or tinkering with. So when I read Diana Henry’s Moroccan-spiced version in Simple, one of our Piglet Tournament of Cookbooks contestants this year, I was stunned.

Curried Mussels

The little black shellfish are easy to cook; the only trick is to sort them carefully beforehand. Toss out any cracked shelled mussels, as well as any open ones that don’t close up tight when you squeeze them. The beards are the tough little fibers that help mussels cling to rocks; to remove them, just pinch the hairy fibers with a clean kitchen towel and pull. Don’t do this much before cooking, though, because the mussels can’t survive long after they’ve been plucked. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 large leeks, whites and light greens only, thinly sliced, rinsed, drained Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper 2 garlic cloves, sliced 1 1/2 teaspoon Madras curry powder 2 1/2 pounds mussels, beards removed 1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (for serving) For the Love of Cooking ?
