== Directions ==
# Prepare mussels by scraping shells thoroughly and washing. Pry shells open without disturbing the hinge.
# Clean by removing the black part of the mussel and the beard. Rinse well.
# Soak in cold water while preparing stuffing.
# Fry onions in olive oil until soft.
# Add rice. Cook together gently, covered, for 19 minutes.
# Add boiling water and rest of ingredients. Continue cooking, covered, until liquid is absorbed.
# When cool, stuff each mussel with the rice mixture and tie shut with string.
# Place the mussels in layers in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and place a plate or small lid immediately on top of the mussels to hold them securely in place while they are cooking.
# Put a lid on the saucepan. Cook over a very low fire for half an hour.
# Drain, but leave mussels undisturbed to cool. Remove strings.
# Serve well chilled, with lemon juice.
