What Are Good Ways to Use Smoked Spanish Paprika?
Q: I recently acquired a lot of smoked spanish paprika, which I love, but I need to figure out how to use!
The only recipe that I know of that calls for it is Chicken Paprikash. I’d like a good Chicken Paprikash recipe, since the one I’ve used isn’t that great, but I’d also love learning about more ways to use this spice.
