Preparation

Step 1
In a saucepan or sturdy casserole dish, heat the butter and oil. When hot, add the onions, and saute over medium to high heat 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaves and rice, mixing until the rice is coated with butter and oil.
Step 2
Add the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a strong boil, stirring occasionally, over high heat. Then reduce the heat to very low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Fluff the rice with a fork and remove bay leaf. Serve immediately with mussels.
