Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water. Cook it in 400 ml of water or broth until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
2
If using fresh mussels, scrub them thoroughly under running water. Discard any open or damaged mussels.
3
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.
5
Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
6
Pour in the white wine, bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
7
Add the mussels, cover the skillet, and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
8
Stir in the cooked rice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine with the mussel mixture.
9
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
