1 tablespoon lemon zest finely grated peel of a lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons oregano finely chopped, fresh

1/4 teaspoon salt

In the oven now. I substituted chive for parsley based on what I had on hand, I understand the flavor will be quite different. Personally I find 2 tbsp of oregano to be a bit much.

Frank-Ly Paella, Barcelona Style

Well, sounds interesting but this is not a "paella" (paella names come form the reciepient used and NEVER is made at the owen), neither the typical way how we cook the rice here in Barcelona. Sorry to sound too "purist" but I had to say it.
