Description

This Risotto Potatoes and Mussels is a traditional dish from Apulia that I always enjoy preparing. The combination of creamy risotto, potatoes and fresh mussels is simply unbeatable! The potatoes give the risotto a nice creaminess, while the mussels provide a wonderfully salty taste. I prefer to use Arborio risotto, as it retains a perfect consistency. This dish is perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner with friends and family. It is a little more elaborate to prepare, but the effort is definitely worth it! Served with grated cheese and fresh parsley, it is a real treat.
