My friend Eric Wilson and his cousin Arturo Manzano recently made a wonderful looking paella over a wood fire. You can see the stages below, following by the final presentation and then the cooks. I wish I was there to enjoy it but I may do a painting based on the final version.
I have enjoyed both consuming and creating Spanish cooking since I did some work there in the early 90s. I have made paella numerous ways including grilling the non-rice contents but I always cooked the rice over a gas fire. Now I will have to think about this approach.
Yummy!

So unfair that I read this post right before lunch time. (Oh how my stomach is growling!) Haven't made paella with peppers cut into thin strips versus diced. Literally given me some food for thought.
