Mussel risotto

This risotto will instantly transport you to a seaside restaurant! To make it at home, start with a classic risotto recipe. In a separate pot, cook 3 pounds of cleaned mussels in 1 cup white wine for about 10 minutes. When cooked, strain the mussels and save the liquid. When making the risotto, use the mussel liquid to cook the rice instead of the chicken or vegetable stock that a classic risotto calls for. When the risotto is done, add the mussels on top, along with some grated Parmesan and serve.
