Description
Paprika is classified according to its flavour and drying method:
Sweet: Ideal for stews, rice dishes and potatoes without adding heat.
Hot: Essential in the production of sausages (such as chorizo) and to add ‘fire’ to meat dishes and sauces.
Smoked (Pimentón de la Vera): Dried with wood smoke, it adds a deep and distinctive aroma to legumes, marinades and traditional dishes such as Galician-style octopus.
To preserve all its properties and flavour, it is recommended to add it towards the end of cooking or dissolve it briefly in warm oil (without burning it, as it becomes bitter) before incorporating it into the recipe.
