Paella anyone ?....and perhaps an idea ?

[Channa]

In a flash of inspiration and follow on from my Christmas day exploits, and the New Years meet I have come up with an idea which I am going to call "Paella in the Park."

I personally love Paella, Over the years experimented to "get it just right".

I am thinking big so looked at hiring the big palleira pans to pull off this feast. In fact in such a bullish mood can't be that difficult to pull off the British record. So all the snowbirds if you can get a local village to lend the pan ???? a wood fire we are in business. ( what a shame a WC convoy required to return it)

Anyway distracted as I often am, I came across this guy on you tube. He is not well known nor the restaurant, but I assure you he knows what he is doing, ( lets slip a family recipe although he sounds French !!) I love how he is using raw prawn, I never tire of watching them change colour succulent and full of flavour.

If you are feeling extravagant well worth a go just scale it down.

I would do two small things different add chopped parsley at the end and use a lemon juice to season as well as the garnish.

Idea perhaps on a future meet ? any organisers feel free to drop a line if you feel mileage in the idea, I dare say Campervanannie et al can do a mean Sangria !!..

On a separate note the pans come on a 4 day rental delivered and collected from site. So there could be a communal cooked breakfast too and other fayre steaks etc

Don't bother hiring....

I'd be happy to lend you my 1m wide Paella pan and burner if it helps....

We use it on a regular basis for feeding the classic landrover lot ;-)

That's where the WC differ from the Landrover club you guys are forward thinking and the men cook WC are a bit stuck in the past and they still see it as woman's work.

Not sure it's forward or backwards.... just a case of more folks chip in... sooner we eat ;-)

I have a wood fired pizza oven too... works fab for baked spuds AND pies too.... ohhh and a large propane fired Burco boiler for hot brews en masse.

It's more to do with the genda of the folks chipping in at your meets lol.

I missed that... we just visited mud fest in the car for a few hours and didn't camp. Andrea was great about mass cooking - remember her soups?

You have been around long enough you know how this lot think !!!,,,,,,The French name poulet basquaise may have been more apt :dance:

Before you know it we shall be sacrificing goats in leather waistcoats with earings !!

On a serious note a fantastic dish for a camper !!!(The chicken not the goat). Bar the white wine, can be made for £1.50 easy and serve 2.

Get the recipe posted !!
