İstanbul Usulü Soğuk Midye Dolması — Saffron Rice, Currant and Pine Nut Stuffed Mussels with Lemon

A beloved İstanbul street-food icon: plump black mussels pried open and filled with fragrant saffron-spiced rice studded with sweet currants and golden pine nuts, then gently steamed and chilled until each shell becomes a perfect, jewel-like bite. A squeeze of fresh lemon over the top is all they need.
