I usually cook paella inside, but when I’ve got some time it is so much nicer on the KK. It was a beautiful autumn evening here, and kids were sorted- so it was the perfect time to cook tonight’s paella on the KK with some post oak for smoke. Originally paella was cooked on a pan over fire, so it feels right. Simple one tonight with chorizo, chicken, Roma tomatoes and green beans/ flavoured with saffron, paprika, stock and rosemary from our garden. Spicy pimenton in the adult one. I also love cooking the whole thing outside as you set up your ‘mise en place’ and then just relax. I’m smokey as all hell though, so need a shower. Nevertheless it was so so good- worth the extra effort.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! Nice day here, I should be grilling something, but I've thawed out some al pastor that I stashed in the freezer from the last time I made it. So, margaritas and al pastor tacos on the deck for dinner tonight! 🥟 🍹

Wow, what a great paella cook. It looks sooo tasty and sounds like a wonderful outside cook.

36°F and snowing here. Brought my theremeters in. Good looking cook!
