Rice with Squid, Morcilla and Chimichurri Bomba Rice by Agustin Balbi (Ando) & Ricardo Chaneton (Mono)

Growing up rice was my favourite foods to eat, especially my grandma's, Lola Caldoso. Even today rice has a very special place in my heart that connects with the best memories of her.

AGUSTIN BALBI

There was a point in my life when rice was all that I would eat – my only comfort food. It amazes me to this day that a singular ingredient can still conjure up so much for me.
