  1. STEAMY RICE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

  2. CHARRED VEGGIES

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced baby marrow pieces for 3-4 minutes until charred. Remove from the pan on completion and place in a bowl. Return the pan to the heat with another drizzle of oil. Fry the diced carrots for 3-4 minutes until browned and caramelized. Remove from the pan and add to the bowl of baby marrows. Season to taste.

  3. NICE RICE

    Once the rice is cooked, stir through the peas, charred carrots and baby marrow pieces. Cover to keep warm for serving.

  4. LEMON CREAM SAUCE

    Wipe down the pan if necessary and return it to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add in the grated garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the white wine and cook off until almost evaporated. Turn off the heat and stir through the cream and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Season to taste, remove from the heat and cover.

  5. LACED CRUMB & CRISP MUSSELS

    In a small bowl combine the cheesy crumb with ½ of the chopped parsley. Add lemon zest and seasoning to taste. Place the mussel halves onto a roasting tray. Fill each one with 1-2 tsp of the cream sauce and a generous heap of the parsley and cheese crumb. Pop them into the oven to bake for 3-4 minutes until the crumb is crispy.
