Ingredients

  • 320 g White rice
  • 950 ml Vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 Medium onion
  • 1/2 Red pepper
  • 1 Small zucchini
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 10 – 12 saffron threads
  • 4 tbsp EVOO
  • Sea salt and ground white pepper to taste

Processing

Prepare the saffron infusion

Gently heat a small portion of the stock (about 50 ml) without letting it boil and add the saffron threads. Let it infuse for at least 10-15 minutes to release its aroma and color. Keep the rest of the stock warm over very low heat.

Make the base sofrito

In a large saucepan or paella pan, add the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté slowly for 8-10 minutes until translucent and beginning to caramelize slightly (this will add natural sweetness). Add the red bell pepper and garlic, cooking everything together for another 5 minutes.

To make rice pearly (Key technique)

Add the white rice directly to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for 2 minutes over medium heat. The grains should become slightly pearly; this seals the outer starch so they absorb the flavors evenly, maintaining their internal texture. Stir in the diced zucchini and gently mix.

Cooked in a tender, creamy sauce

Pour the hot stock and saffron infusion over the rice. Stir once to distribute the ingredients evenly and bring to a boil. Maintain a high heat for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to medium-low. Cook uncovered for approximately 14-16 minutes, stirring gently occasionally to allow the grains to release just the right amount of starch, creating that characteristic creamy and smooth texture.

Rest and service

Turn off the heat when the rice is cooked to perfection (al dente inside and tender outside). Cover the casserole dish with a clean cloth or parchment paper and let it rest for 3 or 4 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to settle, maximizing the balance and lingering flavor.
The magic under the floor

The great secret of our crops is not in the synthetic chemicals, but in the soil.

By regenerating the health of the earth, we awaken a universe of beneficial microorganisms. This active microbiome works in perfect symbiosis with the physiology of plants, optimizing the absorption of nutrients and strengthening their defenses from the root. When a plant grows in a living, balanced ecosystem, it doesn't need to force its development. The result is pure nature magic.

Authentic Taste

The natural genetic expression of each variety is maximised, recovering the intense flavours and aromas of the past.

Superior Organoleptic Qualities

Firm textures, vibrant colors and a quality that is noticeable with the five senses.

Increased Nutrition and Shelf Life

More resilient foods, rich in antioxidants and with superior natural conservation.

Growing while respecting the cycles of life is not a trend; it is the only way to obtain exceptional fruits and vegetables, healthy for people and generous with the planet.

Environment

Cultivate that returns more than it takes

Every regenerative crop is also a tool against climate change. By feeding soil life rather than depleting it, our farms transform carbon from the atmosphere into stable organic matter underground. This is known as carbon sequestration: the plant captures CO2, converts it into sugars and gives them to the roots and microorganisms, which fix it in the soil for years.

The result is an ecosystem that retains more water, withstands droughts better, and needs fewer external inputs. Producing exceptional food and regenerating the planet cease to be opposing objectives and become the same path.

C02

Captured and fixed in soil as stable organic matter

Live soil

More microbial biodiversity and deep roots that retain water

Closed loop

Fewer inputs for the synthesis and natural regeneration of fertility.
