2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed or finely grated
400g paella rice, such as arborio or carnaroli
150g cooking chorizo, sliced
150g raw king prawns
500g live mussels
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into strips
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1-litre chicken stock
A glass of white wine (around 175ml)
30g unsalted butter
Juice of ½ lime, plus extra to serve
½ scotch bonnet chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Handful chives, fnely chopped, to serve

Directions

Light the 2 central gas burners

Light the 2 central gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to medium. Place the skillet pan in the centre of the BBQ to heat up.

Add a good splash of oil and add the onion and chorizo. Cook gently, stirring for around 10 minutes, until the onion is starting to soften and the chorizo has released its fat.

Add the red pepper

Add the red pepper, the garlic and 1 tablespoon tomato puree.

Add the rice and stir to coat

Add the rice and stir to coat, then pour in the wine and let it bubble down.

Add the stock

Add the stock, season with salt and pepper, then bring to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Cover the lid tightly with foil and close the lid of the BBQ. Cook for 25 minutes, until the rice is tender.

Melt the butter

Meanwhile, melt the butter with the diced scotch bonnet pepper in a small saucepan. Once melted, simmer for a minute, then add the lime juice and set aside.

Add the prawns

Add the prawns and mussels then replace the foil and cook for a few minutes more.

Drizzle

To finish, drizzle over some of the scotch bonnet and lime butter.

Serve

Serve with lemon wedges and scattered with chives
