Paprika is a spice that comes from a mild red pepper grown in Hungary, Spain, South America and California. It is a brilliant red powder often used as a garnish. Paprika ranges from sweet and mild to hot. American paprika is the blandest, while Hungarian paprika has the greatest range of flavour. It is the primary flavour in Hungarian cooking, including dishes such as goulash and chicken paprikash. In the United States, it is often used as a garnish on stuffed eggs, fish, and cheese and vegetable casseroles.
Culinary UsesPaprika is intimately associated with Hungarian cuisine especially paprikash and goulash. Many spiced sausages incorporate it, including the Spanish chorizos.
Paprika is often used as a garnish, spinkled on eggs, hors d’ouvres and salads for colour. It spices and colours cheeses and cheese spreads, and is used in marinades and smoked foods. It can be incorporated in the flour dusting for chicken and other meats.
Many Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish recipes use paprika for soups, stews, casseroles and vegetables.
