Für Anea

Requirements

• A pan that won't stick (non-stick pans (like teflon), a marinated cast iron pan, whatever)

Ingredients

• 1 liter of water
• 200 grams of rice
• 20 grams of oil
• 1-2 garlic heads
• 200 grams (to taste) of ham cubes
• Pepper
• Cayenne powder (spicy)

Steps

1. Cook the rice with the oil and with salt to taste
2. Put the rice in a strainer, preferably a plastic strainer with enough room for the rice to breath
3. Leave the rice to dry for a minimum of 20 minutes, I recommend about 2 hours
4. Preheat the pan
5. Add oil and some sliced garlic and the heat on medium
6. Once the garlic is a bit crispy add the ham cubes and cook at a lower heat (you may add something a bit fattier if you want a more juicy rice)
7. When the ham cubes have been in the pan for about 5-10 minutes add the rice
8. Add the pepper and cayenne powder, I recommend 2 parts pepper to 1 part cayenne
9. Stir till you get an even distribution of rice and ham cubes and sauce
10. Put the pan in the lowest heat level and leave without stirring from about 5-30 minutes (depending on how crispy you want the bottom to be), I recommend 15 minutes
11. Serve warm
