0:52 soil a little bit of cumin about a

0:54 teaspoon and I have here's here's a word

1:41 and we love them it's a really really

1:43 fun legging okay and so everything is

1:46 added we added our bay leaf or cumin or

1:50 sofrito Rho at the oil that beautiful

1:52 cubed ham smoked ham but and then we're

1:56 going to add our stock now you can use

2:00 chicken stock with this you can use beef

2:02 stock with this what's great about this

2:08 is that you now bring this to the boil

2:10 and once it comes to the

2:13 oil you simmer it and a little salt and

2:16 we'll tweak that again later and what

2:25 we're left with once it's come to the

3:30 have to do basically next to nothing to

3:32 this dish and you see the rice is soft

3:34 not mushy just barely starting to bloom

3:37 or to curl at the edges and then you
