Discard any unopened mussels and serve them on top of the risotto.

Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry onion until softened.

Add garlic and chilli to the pan and fry for one minute.

Stir in the rice until the grains turn translucent.

Add wine and boil until the liquid has evaporated.

Gradually add vegetable stock while stirring until absorbed and rice is tender.

Stir in tomatoes, parsley, and butter then season and rest covered for 4 minutes.

Heat olive oil in another saucepan until hot and add mussels.

Cover and shake the pan until mussel shells have opened.
