Sav Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 These two Paella are in a 700mm pan, the fixings, prawns squid chicken asparagus ect. were grilled in the KK for that al fresco open fire smokey taste and the Paella was then finish over a wok burner. The first Paella catered for twelve people and the second (with some extra wings on the side) catered for 28... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sav Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Gday Dennis, Yeh I know but I was as busy as a lizard up a log putting it together to stop for too many shots. I have a some more cooks to post with better money shots but here are a few in the mean time, these wings and charred peppers were part of the second Paella....

Sav Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks C.Chef, There a good dish to present to your guests, they do have that wow factor especially if there presented in a large Paella pan. If your gonna have a crack at it remember, as good as your fixings on top are, a great Paella is ALL about the rice, you really need to source Spanish Bomba or Calasparra rice and have the right ratio of stock to rice to get the correct result. Havs you got some Aussie in you ol mate ? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sav - no Aussie in me, but I LOVE Australia! I spent quite a bit of time Down Under some years back and have been back several times. I'd say all told I've spent about 18-24 months Down Under. My first time with you good people I landed in Perth and bought a fly/rail pass. Went all across the continent and had the time of my young life. This was back in the early 80s when the TV show Dallas was in its second season. Everybody was always asking me, "Hey Mate! Who shot JR?" LOL!! I'd go into a bar and I couldn't buy a drink. "Hey, My Shout Mate!" If I heard that once I heard it 10,000 times! And you boys drink like fish! I'm a whiskey drinker and you boys do know how to throw back that whiskey! I learned that Foster's is for tourists and export. Victoria Bitters ruined me! Hard to find up here in The States. I learned to LOVE Morten Bay Bugs ... they are wonderful, simply wonderful grilled! And the Sheilas .... ah Mate, the Sheilas! Lovely ladies one and all! If I didn't have real significant business ties here in The States, I'd have my fat rat butt headed Down Under!

Sav Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 C.Chef, Yep, the Big Brown Land, we love it and I've gotta say the best coastline in the world. Your not wrong about those Morton Bay Bugs I'll take a feed of those over just about anything! Victoria Bitter or VB is one of our most popular beers although for my taste it's not a patch on Coopers Pale Ale, this is an unfiltered brew with great flavour but it dose has a kick like a concrete elephant, if you can find it have a crack at it ! The Sheilas are still as good. Maybe we'll see you back here sometime soon........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Sav - I'm thinking of a trip in the next 2-3 years. Maybe a honeymoon if things pan out! Twenty-two years since my last divorce and I think I've found THE ONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
