I bought it for making paella, but I couldn't wait to try it, so I
cooked some up tonight. I cooked it like I would any other rice. It
turned out delicious. It sticks together without being clumpy or
gooey. It has a nice chew to it.

I cut the rest of the pork shoulder in half and cooked one portion
with some garlic and a few green chiles that I laid on top.

I took the juices from the roast and put them in a saucier. Then I
added a slurry of cornstarch and water and brought to a boil to
thicken the juices.

Sliced up some of the pork and plated with the rice and juices.

I opened the bottle of St Clair's Cab-Zin from New Mexico and had a
fabulous dinner.
