Priya's quick mussel risotto
Ingredients
- 1 Ready-to-Eat Classic mussels
- 150 gram risotto rice
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 gram canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter
- 1 cube of fish stock
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil
- 200 gr fresh spinach
Instructions
- Grab a saucepan and bring 600 ml of water to a boil (or boil it in the kettle).
- Add the stock cube to the water and stir well.
- Finely chop the onions and press or finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add the risotto rice and stir to combine.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and stir until the liquid is almost absorbed.
- Gradually add a ladle of broth at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process until the rice is tender and all the broth has been used up.
- Finally, stir in the fresh spinach. Place the lid on the pan to keep the risotto warm.
- Grab a wok and place it on the stove. Open the pack of ready-to-eat mussels. Do not rinse or wash them, as this will cause you to lose all the flavor.
- Place the contents of the pack into the wok. Stir-fry the mussels over medium to high heat until they all open, which will happen in about 5 minutes.
- Gently stir the mussels with their shells into the risotto. Divide the risotto between two plates.
