We are going to divide our 2 lobsters, we will boil one of them in hot water for 4 minutes, after that, we will extract all the meat to use it as decoration after the rice has been finished.

With our lobsters prepared we begin to make the sauce, we add the onion, paprika, crushed ñora and grated tomato.
5.- Add the cuttlefish
When all the ingredients are reduced, we add the cuttlefish pieces, stir a couple of times and pour the fumet over the sauce.
6.- Add rice and saffron
When the fumet begins to boil, we add the saffron infusion and the rice.

El Chef del garito
Popularly known as El Chef de Garito, Germán and Bernabé—two cooking enthusiasts, rice lovers, and lifelong friends—began publishing their recipes online in 2020 to share their way of having fun and enjoying life.
This desire to cook and share their recipes was born, as the name suggests, in the Garito, the meeting place where their group of friends regularly gathers to cook, enjoy, and share the pleasure of being together around the table.
El Chef del Garito’s recipes are mainly based on rice dishes, but they also master the art of tapas and snacks, which can be enjoyed while the rice is being prepared at the Garito, located in Moncofa, Castelló.
