This dish is a work of art. Risotto is a way to prepare rice that, if done well, tastes spectacular. I had never thought about preparing mussels with thyme. So I will get to work in my kitchen. In the photos it looks exquisite. Thanks for the instructions @blog-food

You’re welcome :-)

Thank you for this beautiful recipe preparation.
Step by step well explained.
I liked the proposal to make mussels separately.
I like risotto, creamy but with whole grains.
Stay great!

Thank You )

ehy dear @blog-food, here it is lunch time so it is useless to say that I am hungry and my mouth is watering :-)) it looks very good but the cream gives me some doubt that the dish is rather difficult in digestion. in Italy we would have put the mussels at the beginning with the onions and we would have added only the water until cooked. even if we have a great wealth of ingredients we like simplicity, especially to maintain the taste of the product. it's not a criticism of course, just a difference !! I love your recipe, and beautiful photos and description, congratulations! Keep on :-))

How divine that plate of food looks, is to drool haha, I like how you explained each step to do it, greetings!

You’re welcome :-)
