The recipe for risotto with mussels and peas was born after the eighteenth century dallunione of two culinary traditions: Pugliese that matched the rice with mussels and the Veneta that condiva risotto with peas! The result is fantastic: a healthy risotto, a set of aromas and flavors that blend perfectly, giving rise to an appetizing dish, attractive, delicate taste. #risotto
Wash the mussels in running water, scraping them with a sponge. Arrange them in a saucepan with a little olive oil and garlic, pour a little bit of white wine, cover and cook until the shells open.
Drain the mussels and remove the shells, catching shellfish.
Then chop the onion and appassitela in a saucepan with olive oil, add the rice, let it roast and blend with the remaining wine.
Add the peas, seasoned with a pinch of pepper and cook for eighteen minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon and basting occasionally with some hot soup ladle.
When almost cooked, add the mussels and mix before serving. Serve the risotto with mussels and peas with a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley!
