We're having a big family BBQ get together in a couple of weeks and are aiming for a Spanish theme but also hoping to keep it simple in terms of prep.
I thought it would be good to prep a paella style rice salad, and serve it with BBQ'd chicken, prawns and squid - does that sound nice or horribly non-Spanish by being a rice salad instead of actual paella?!
Was planning on cooking normal rice (basmati is what I usually have), with some saffron, then adding small pieces of chorizo, peas, peppers and flat leaf parsley.
Would that work do you think?
