Instructions
- As first step, we have to clean the mussels very well. I use a steel sponge to do it without effort.
- After this, put all the sea shell into salted cold water and clean them as well as you can.
- Now let's take a squid, cut off the tentacles, pull out the head and clean it inside, than wash well with water and cut it in small rings
- Into a large pan fry some chopped garlic and some hot pepper and let it fry for 30 seconds
- Let's add the squid and half glass of white wine, than let it cook for 10 minute.
- Now we will add the seashells and the prawls in the pan and will wait untill all seashells will be open.
- Using a perforated spoon we'll remove the seashells from the pan and just leave the souce.
- Into another pot we will put the black rice.
- A cup of rice for each person.
- For each cup of rice you have to add 2 cups of cold water.
- Now stew the rice till all water will be absorbed. Don't forget to stir it. When the rice is stewed add it into the pan with the seashells souce, dash some chopped parsley and let it become tasty for 1 minute.
