Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 30 Min
Cook: 40 Min
Ingredients for Filling:
Mussel (Shelled) 40   Qty
Rock Salt 1   Tsp (large)
Water (Hot) 2.5   Cup
Ingredients for Stuffed Rice:
Rice 1.5   Cup
Currants 1   Tbsp
Pine Nut 50   Grams
Tomato Paste 1   Tsp
Dill 1/4   Bunch
Dry Onion 4   Qty
Allspice 1   Tsp
Black Pepper 1   Tsp
Cinnamon Powder 1   Tsp
Water (Hot) 2.5   Cup
Lemon Juice (Fresh-squeezed) 1   Tsp (large)
Olive Oil 8   Tbsp
Granulated Sugar 1   Tbsp
Salt 1   Tsp (large)
Lemon Juice (Fresh) 1   Qty
Ingredients for Over:
Olive Oil 3/4   Cup
Lemon (Sliced) 2   Qty
Parsley (Leaf) 1/2   Bunch

Steps:

  1. Rinse the mussels thoroughly under running water by rubbing the outside of the mussels with a clean wire wool. Arrange in a single row in a flat pot. Add water with added rock salt. Boil the mussels on low heat in a controlled manner until they are open.
  2. When the mussels are slightly open, take them off the fire and wash them under cold running water. The mussels should not be cooked inside.
  3. While the mussels are cooling, prepare the stuffed rice.
  4. Finely chop the onion. Heat the olive oil in the pan and lightly fry the pine nuts first, add the onions and continue frying until they turn brown.
  5. Drain the rice through water, add it to the roasted onions and fry it without breaking it until it becomes transparent. Add 1 glass of hot water to it and cook it on low heat until it absorbs its water. Since it will be cooked for the second time, the rice should remain slightly firm. Add salt, spices, chopped dill and lemon juice, mix gently and infuse with a paper towel over it.
  6. Open the mussels, being careful not to separate them from the joints. Extract pieces of algae called nerves and beards. Turn one lid of the mussel down and one lid up, so that the mussels, whose muscles are broken, will open easily. Wash the mussels under running water.
  7. Add a teaspoon of rice to the opened mussels, close them and arrange them in a single row in the pot. After pouring 1/2 lemon juice and olive oil on them, add the water and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat and let it cool.
  8. When stuffed mussels have cooled, you can serve them with parsley leaves, sumac red onions and quartered lemon slices. Enjoy your meal!
