Step:

  1. Rinse the mussels and steam them in a pot without any water. When the shell opens, they are ready. 

  2. Allow them to cool and then remove the beard. Choose 10 mussels with a clean shell to place them in the pot with the rest of the mussels that you have removed from their shells. 

  3. Sauté the onion in a shallow pot over low heat until golden. Add the tomato, the dill, the spearmint and finally, the rice. 

  4. Stir a little, then add the lemon and the mussel stock. You might need to add a little water. Finally, a little while before you remove it from heat add the mussels that you have removed from the shells, the ones with the shell, salt, pepper and last, the lemon juice.
