Total time: 30M

Ingredients

100 g onion
25 g olive oil
250 g mushrooms from Paris (white)
1 dash of lemon
50 g rice flour (see notes)
400 g of vegetable broth
400g milk
200 g of cream for cooking
Sal Island
White pepper
1 can of natural mussels (PDO Galicia)

Preparation

Peel the onion and cut it into large pieces. We chopped it during 5 seconds at speed 5.
We lower the pieces that have stuck to the glass towards the blades.
Add the oil and fry for 5 minutes, 100º, speed 1.
Meanwhile, we clean and slice the mushrooms. The sheets do not have to be very thin. If the mushroom is medium, it is enough to have 5 or 6 sheets.
When the time is up, we add the mushrooms, the lemon squeeze, the rice flour, salt and pepper. We cook during 3 minutes, 100º, speed 1.
Next we pour the broth, milk and water from the mushrooms. we program 20 minutes, 100º, speed 1.
After the time, we rectify salt and pepper. We shred during 2 minutes, speed 5-7-9, until we have a fine and smooth cream.
Add the cream and mix for 30 seconds, speed 5.
At the time of serving, we distribute the hot cream in 4 plates or Martini glasses, like the ones in the photo, and decorate with the natural mussels and, if you want, with seaweed.

Mussels tend to sink, so one solution may be to skewer them and place them like in this recipe

Notes

Rice flour is used in this recipe to give it creaminess.
If you don't have one at home, start the recipe by grinding 50 g of rice at speed 10, for 1 minute.
