Step-by-step
- Cook the black rice in plenty of lightly salted water for 35 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Now open the mussels by steaming: put them in a large pan, add a tablespoon of oil and a clove of garlic and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the mussels over medium heat until they have opened. It will only take a few minutes.
- In a saucepan, pour a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a crushed clove of garlic. Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, the black rice and some of the water released by the mussels. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice has completely absorbed the mussel liquid and gains an intense sea scent.
- When the rice has cooled, add the chopped parsley and a beaten egg: mix to combine everything.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Open each mussel and fill the shells with a spoonful of black rice, then close them slightly. Arrange the mussels side by side in the baking dish, alternating them occasionally with a cherry tomato.
- Moisten the stuffed mussels with the remaining cooking water, drizzle with a little oil and bake in a hot oven for about 25 minutes.
- Serve the mussels with a green salad as a single dish, or even as an appetizer.
