Where To Find Mussel Risotto Recipe Ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Here's where you can find each ingredient needed for Mussel Risotto:

Any Spice

Mussel Risotto allows you the flexibility to choose your preferred spice or herb. You can use any spice or herb from the base game or expansions. For convenience, you might opt for ingredients available in The Storybook Vale, such as Lightning Spice from the Elysian Fields or Garlic from the Wild Woods. The choice is entirely up to you.

Garlic

You can find Garlic in The Wild Woods within the Everafter biome, growing naturally on the ground. It's also available in the base game's Forest of Valor. Garlic is a staple in many Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes, so keeping a good stock is advisable.

Olives

Olives can be harvested from trees in The Storybook Vale's Mythopia biome. You'll find them in areas like The Elysian Fields, The Fiery Plains, The Statue's Shadow, and Mount Olympus. Each harvest yields about four olives every 30 minutes. Olives can be sold for 35 Gold Star Coins or consumed for a +350 energy boost.

Mussel

Locating Mussels can be tricky as they are a rare spawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You'll need just one Mussel for the recipe. They can appear on the ground in Mythopia, particularly near Trial areas, where they sometimes spawn in clusters. Look for them in The Elysian Fields, The Fiery Plains, The Statue's Shadow, and Mount Olympus.

Rice

The final ingredient, Rice, can be purchased from Goofy's Stall in the Glade of Trust. Rice Seeds cost 35 Gold Star Coins per bag, and if you've upgraded the stall, you can also buy fully-grown Rice for 92 Gold Star Coins when available.

With these steps, you'll be able to create Mussel Risotto and add it to your Storybook Vale recipe collection. Additionally, you might consider using this dish as a decorative item to bring a touch of the sea to your Valley's ambiance.
