Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Sunset in Hinton Waldrist is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
