smoked paprika
Fire-cured pepper powder
Smoked paprika is a spice made from peppers that have been dried over wood fires, giving it a distinctive smoky flavor that sets it apart from regular paprika.
It originated in Spain, where it's called pimentón, and comes in sweet, bittersweet, and hot varieties.
The spice adds depth to stews, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats, and has become a pantry staple for home cooks seeking to add smokiness without actual smoking.
A pinch of smoked paprika transformed the hummus.
