4 min

Add the cleaned mussel meat, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper and sauté together for 3-4 minutes.

3

Add the rice and water

5 min

Add the rinsed rice and sauté for 2 minutes, then add the hot water and salt and bring to a boil.

4

Cook over low heat

15 min

Once boiling, reduce to low heat and cook with the lid closed until the water is absorbed.

5

Let it rest and serve

10 min

Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes, then stir and serve hot or warm.

Important: When washing the mussels, clean off any sand and shell debris; if using fresh mussels, they should be removed from their shells before cooking. Allergen: contains shellfish.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Briefly sautéing the spices in olive oil is the single most important step for giving the pilaf its traditional mussel-pilaf aroma.
