I love using paprika! It’s one of my favourite spices and one that I regularly use while I’m cooking. I was reminiscing of my time in Budapest, breezing through the Christmas markets, trying Hungarian street food, and enjoying and taking in the incredible views of illuminating landmarks at night. I noticed markets and stalls would display a variety of paprika that you could even buy as a souvenir. From sweet paprika to smoked paprika and hot paprika. It was here I discovered from a Hungarian local that the word ‘paprika’ was birthed in Hungary. You’ll find paprika in one of Hungary’s most popular and classic dishes, Goulash. Smoked paprika, in particular, intrigued me because of the name itself.
Since then I’ve been sprinkling away on many of my go-to meals like curries and adding it to my meat rubs. Even my mum loves it! I saw her use it the other day to make some Asaro (yam porridge). It’s such a versatile ingredient that oozes with smokey flavours without adding much heat like chilli flakes so don’t be afraid to be generous with it. Adding honey along with the smoked paprika spice amplifies the sweetness already found in smoked paprika and certainly adds a warm homely feel to the dish. The flavour combinations are just amazing!
