Where To Find Mussel Risotto Recipe Ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You can find all the recipe ingredients to make Mussel Risotto in Disney Dreamlight Valley as follows:

Any Spice

Mussel Risotto gives you the creative freedom to choose what spice you throw into the cooking pot. Provided you add an ingredient from the spice or herb collection, you can add any spice or herb from the base game or expansions. If you prefer to use ingredients readily available in The Storybook Vale, you could gather Lightning Spice from the Elysian Fields or Garlic from the Wild Woods. As ever, the choice is yours.

Garlic

As mentioned above, you can get Garlic in The Wild Woods in the Everafter biome, where you can find it growing on the ground. As a classic ingredient from the base game, you can also find Garlic growing in the wild in the Forest of Valor. It's an ingredient that pops up in many Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes, so it's always worth having plenty to hand.

Olives

Next on the list is Olives. To get Olives in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you can find them growing on trees in The Storybook Vale's Mythopia biome. Specifically, you can harvest Olives from the following areas of Mythopia, where you can get four olives per harvest roughly every 30 minutes:

• The Elysian Fields
• The Fiery Plains
• The Statue's Shadow
• Mount Olympus

You can also sell Olives for 35 Gold Star Coins or eat them for a +350 energy boost.

Mussel

Mussels can be a tricky ingredient to find in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Fortunately, you only need one mussel when making Mussel Risotto. Although you can find mussels on the ground in Mythopia, they can be a rare spawn drop and often only appear in certain places, such as near Trial areas of the map, where they can spawn in clusters. Altogether, it is possible to pick up mussels in the following map areas:

• The Elysian Fields
• The Fiery Plains
• The Statue's Shadow
• Mount Olympus

Rice

The final ingredient you need to make Mussel Risotto is Rice, which you can grab from Goofy's Stall in the Glade of Trust. Rice Seeds are inexpensive at 35 Gold Star Coins per bag. If you've upgraded Goofy's Stall in the Glade of Trust, you can also buy fully-grown Rice for 92 Gold Star Coins when available.

That completes everything you need to make Mussel Risotto in Disney Dreamlight Valley, which becomes available in The Storybook Vale recipe collection when made. You might also want to use the dish as a decorative item, adding a touch of the sea to your Valley decor.
