~--------------------------ORANGE MAYONNAISE---------------------------- Cut the zest from the oranges in very long strips. Puree the canned chiles. You can also use light fish broth in place of the water. The egg yolk should be at room temperature. To prepare the mussels, place in a large pot together with the garlic, orange zest, chipotle, and water. Cover, bring to a boil and steam for 4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes; mussels should then be open. Remove the mussels and keep covered in a warm place. Reduce the liquid by half and add the oil and orange juice. Divide the mussels on the half-shell evenly between soup plates and add the broth. Garnish each bowl with 1 Tbls of Orange Mayonnaise and 3 sprigs of cilantro. ORANGE MAYONNAISE: Beat the egg yolk in a glass or stainless steel bowl until light and lemon colored. Transfer to a blender and add the oil drop by drop for the first quarter of a cup, then the remainder in a slow steady stream, mixing at high speed until emulsified. Add the other sauce ingredients and blend together. Let sit for at least 1 hour to allow the orange flavor to develop. From The Coyote Cafe Cookbook by Mark Miller
