Four rice recipes to entertain your friends on your terrace


Cooking good rice is not as easy as it seems, but it is not an impossible mission either. A different and original rice, of course, because we don’t want your guests to get tired of always having the same recipe on their plates when you invite them to lunch or dinner. So that this does not happen, we offer you four rice recipeseach with an identity -and alternative ingredients-.

For this, we have achieved exclusively the recipes of some Spanish restaurants where rice is its star dish.
