- 30g butter
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 500ml chicken stock
- 500g scrubbed mussels
- 30g dill, chopped
- 4 tbsp orzo pasta
- Warm the oil and butter in a large lidded pan. Add the orzo, cook for 1 minute, then add the washed rice and cook for 2 mins, stirring all the time. Pour in the stock and allow to simmer for about 15 mins, or until softened but still with a little bit of a bite.
