      Smoked Paprika Flavour Pairings
      • Ingredient Pairings

      Smoked paprika is a fruity spice although much of the sweetness in the paprika is lost in the smoky flavour. It pairs well with ingredients which absorb flavour well like potatoes and eggs. It also complements anything roasted, giving it a smoky fire cooked flavour. 

      • Spice Pairings

      Smoked paprika goes well with spices like cumin, chilli flakes, garlic, onion and black pepper. It also works well with saffron, especially in the Spanish classic paella.
