The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Windlesham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
