Method

Heat 80g of butter in a pan and gently cook the onion for 4 minutes until golden-brown.

Coat the rice in the butter and onion mixture over very low heat.

Gradually add 900ml of stock, stirring continuously until the rice is creamy.

Stir in lime segments, lime zest, parmesan, and the remaining risotto butter, then season.

Clean and de-beard 2kg of mussels, discarding any that are broken or stay open.

Heat oil and 30g of butter in a saucepan and cook ginger, chilli, and lemongrass for 2 minutes.

Add mussels and coconut milk, cover, and cook for 4 minutes until shells open.

Discard closed mussels, stir in whipped cream and coriander, and season.

Serve the mussels in a large bowl with the lime risotto on the side.
