The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening receptions in Warfield stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
