Paella on the BBQ
PARSLEY OIL
3 tbsp of chopped parsley
1 chopped chili
5 tbsp olive oil
Place all the ingredients and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Using a pestle, smash everything together.
RICE
3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp smoked paprika
4 garlic cloves, cut
1 cup of Madeira or Marsala
2 ½ cups of rice
1.5 liters of chicken broth
1 tsp of saffron
The peels of an orange
Sauté the onion in the oil for 10 minutes. Add the spices and garlic. Add the Madeira or Marsala and boil for 3 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes, until hot and shiny. Add the chicken broth, saffron, orange peel and ¾ tsp of salt and stir gently so that the rice is even in the pan.
Simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is cooked through.
