I have to try this rice recipe! We visited Curacao just before the pandemic. The synagogue made me cry, frankly. I had seen the tiny synagogue in Barcelona a few years earlier. The Curacao sanctuary added to my sense of how far-flung our diaspora is, how desperate so many of us have been over the centuries. As for the rice, I recall hearing Chef Sarah Moulton urging cooks to boil rice as if it were pasta. Thank you for the reminder! I seem to get a dry crust too, sadly never as delectable as the Persian rice crust.
