PAPRIKA SMOKED SWEET/ SMOKED SWEET LA VERA SPAIN 2 OZ- 32 OZ RECLOSABLE BAG/S

Description

Smoked paprika is a deep red spice made from dried chili peppers, which are smoked, typically over oak or beech wood, before being dried and ground to a fine powder. It is a central element of most traditional Spanish recipes, where it is still made today. You will find both hot and sweet smoked paprika. Usually, the main difference is that the hot version is made with the chili seeds included, whereas the sweet smoked version has them removed before the grinding takes place (SHU 100-250).

Some traditional dishes that utilize the smokiness of paprika include the Spanish classic chorizo, as well as paella. You can't make these two things without paprika. In fact, the bright red color of chorizo comes from this spice. This color comes from the high levels of carotene in the chili. You can use this in anything from pasta dishes to deviled eggs, the classic dish that many people associate with the holidays. Be warned though, this is not your grandmother's flavorless paprika used only for decoration. This paprika is beautiful to look at but also beautifully flavorful, with a rich smokiness that is very noticeable. It is also delicious in cheesy dishes, on grilled meats, or with roasted vegetables.

The spice imparts some extraordinary flavor while the olive oil helps keep the food from sticking.
