Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and thinly slice the potatoes, onion, and garlic.
2. Clean the mussels thoroughly and open them over a bowl to collect their liquid, then filter the liquid.
3. Grease a baking dish with half the oil and create a base layer with the onion and half the potatoes.
4. Layer the mussels (half-shell or meat only) over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the raw rice.
5. Add the sliced garlic, chopped parsley, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the rice.
6. Cover with the remaining potatoes, then pour the filtered mussel liquid and enough water to just reach the top layer of potatoes.
7. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and the remaining oil, then bake for 35-40 minutes until the rice is cooked and the top is golden.

Tips

• For a deeper flavour, let the dish rest for 10 minutes out of the oven before serving so the rice absorbs all the juices.
• This dish is perfect for meal prep as it stays moist and reheating it actually enhances the seasoning.
