5 Done | After about 1 minute, add in the sofrito and the parsley/garlic oil. |
6 Done | Leave the pan on a medium heat for around 15 to 20 minutes. You can stir during this time, but avoid scraping the bottom of the pan. This will make sure that you end up with something called "socarrat". This is the crispy layer on the bottom and it's very delicious! |
