1 large onion
1 cup pilaf rice

olive oil
1 tbs of parsley, finely chopped
salt

2.  Allow to steam and open; remove from the pan and cool.

3.  Sauté onion in the oil.

4.  Add the rice, pine nuts and parsley, and stir to combine.

5.  Allow the rice mixture to cool a little and then fill the mussel shells.

6.  Close the mussels and return them to the pan with a little water and olive oil, in order for the rice to cook.

7.  Arrange the mussels with the openings uppermost so that the rice remains inside during cooking.
