Smoked paprika is an essential spice for bringing woody and lightly grilled notes to simple everyday cooking. Made from dried and then smoked peppers, it develops a deep and warm aroma that is highly prized in marinades, sauces, and roasted vegetables.
Widely used in Spanish cuisine, smoked paprika gives character to a dish without necessarily adding spiciness.
