Stuffed Mussels
(Midia Yemista)
What You Need:
  • 24 fresh mussels
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup raw converted rice
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • ¼ cup currants
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • How To Cook:
    1. Place mussels in a large pot, sprinkle with salt, and pour in wine and enough water to cover. Cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the shells open.

    2. Discard any that do not open. Remove mussels from shells, reserving shells. Pour broth through cheesecloth and save liquid.

    3. In a separate pan, cook onion in olive oil until soft. Add rice and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly.

    4. Add 1 cup of strained mussel liquid. Cover pot and cook for 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, cover, and cook 5 minutes longer, or until rice is done.

    5. Add mussels and cook over low heat until just heated through. Fill 24 mussel shells with mixture. (Be sure that each mussel shell gets one mussel.) Serve hot or cold.

    To Make: 24 mussels
