Pimentón (Spanish for paprika) is one of the essential ingredients in Spanish cooking. These sweet red peppers, indigenous to Spain, are dried over an oak burning fire for weeks to produce a sweet, smoky flavor. Unlike Hungarian-grown paprika, in which the peppers are slowly sun-dried, pimentón is slowly smoked over a fire, imparting an unbelievably rich and smokey flavor.
The popularity of this paprika seems to be growing rapidly among chefs today and is used commonly in Spanish, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Try using it on beef, chicken, pork, fish, vegetables, potatoes, in chili powder or barbecue rubs.
