The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Launton are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
