Something you can make with Smoked paprika
Origin
Smoked paprika, also known as pimentón, is a spice that originated in Spain. It is made from grinding dried red peppers, specifically the Capsicum annuum variety, which are then smoked over oak fires. This process gives the paprika a distinct smoky flavor and aroma. Smoked paprika is commonly used in Spanish cuisine, particularly in dishes such as chorizo sausage, paella, and various stews. It has also gained popularity in other cuisines around the world for adding a unique smoky element to dishes.
