How to Make Mussels Rice Recipe?

  • First, wash the mussels thoroughly with cold water. If there are any pieces hanging from the outside, tear them off and clean them. If you have raw mussels with open mouths, do not use them.
  • Soak the mussels in clean cold water for 1 hour before cooking. Then, drain the mussels, place them in a large pot, and boil them in 3 glasses of water with the lid closed for 10 minutes until their mouths open, without overcooking. Drain the mussels and keep them aside.
  • Chop the onions into small cubes and sauté them with olive oil over medium heat until they become transparent. Add the washed rice and continue roasting. Meanwhile, add all the spices and let the rice get coated with the spices.
  • Finally, add 3 glasses of hot water, lower the heat and place the opened mussels on the top of the pot. Cook on very low heat until the rice absorbs the water.
  • If all the mussels do not fit in the pot, cook the remaining ones a little more in a separate pot with a little hot water.
  • When serving, be careful to place the rice in the cavities of the mussels. Place all the remaining mussels on a serving plate, sprinkle chopped parsley on them and serve with lemon slices.
