562772 Mon Oct 06 13:04:04 -0700 2008 22 31 Home Cooking 0 4085851 I've seen reference to "Smoked Paprika" here. Is this different from ordinary Paprika? Mon Oct 06 13:04:04 -0700 2008 225716 Victoria724 1 4085855 Yes, it has a smokey flavor. A little goes a long way. Mon Oct 06 13:06:10 -0700 2008 4085851 64459 jnk 2 4085861 Thanks - - have been looking for it here in New York City (Manhattan) to no avail. Any suggestions where I may purchase it? Mon Oct 06 13:08:29 -0700 2008 4085855 225716 Victoria724 3 4085867 Penzey's in Grand Central Station. Mon Oct 06 13:11:45 -0700 2008 4085861 25244 rockycat 3 4085992 Another source is Despana, on Broome. I'm pretty sure I've seen it at Citarella, Fairway, etc., as well. Mon Oct 06 13:52:09 -0700 2008 4085861 10985 MMRuth 4 4086030 Hah...I snagged my first tin of pimenton from Marshall's for $2.99...we love using it...will try it in hummus next time I make it. Mon Oct 06 14:07:03 -0700 2008 4085992 11983 Val 5 4086125 It's also good on/in deviled eggs. Mon Oct 06 14:39:22 -0700 2008 4086030 10985 MMRuth 3 4086040 I've got the remnants of a 4oz. bag ($3.99) from: Kalustyan's 123 Lexington Ave. 212-685-3451 (I hope this is correct, I'm not wearing my glasses) Great place to go when you've got an hour to look around. Mon Oct 06 14:09:14 -0700 2008 4085861 64459 jnk 4 4087256 The smoked paprika at Kalustyan's is just wonderful (they have sweet as well as hot)- fresh, aromatic, delicious. I use it in so many things, and I go through quite a bit because it has become a main part of my dry rub mix and chili blend. Tue Oct 07 04:43:02 -0700 2008 4086040 12713 TongoRad 3 4087682 I've been getting it at Whole Foods Tue Oct 07 08:19:13 -0700 2008 4085861 145071 pondrat 2 4085887 Is this the same as pimenton? Mon Oct 06 13:19:19 -0700 2008 4085855 10985 MMRuth 3 4085963 Yes, same thing. Mon Oct 06 13:42:26 -0700 2008 4085887 10271 Rubee 4 4087222 There are 3 types of pimenton: Dulce (sweet); Picante (hot) and Agridulce (sour-sweet). The last one is not easy to find here in NYC. I am addicted to this stuff! Remember than not all Spanish paprika is Pimenton; there is a Spanish paprika from the Murcia area that comes in pretty round cans; that is NOT the one you want if you want the smoked kind. (The smoky pimenton comes from the La Vera Valley in Extremadura in western spain; it if often called Pimenton de la Vera on the label). Tue Oct 07 03:50:35 -0700 2008 4085963 12618 erica 5 4088315 Thanks for the clarification! I buy the bittersweet/agridulce pimenton (same as the sweet-sour Erica mentions) from an online source called LaTienda.com. I know they're not in NY, but they do have all three kinds of smoked paprika/pimenton. http://www.tienda.com/food/smoked_paprika.html Pic: http://www.chow.com/photos/199130 Tue Oct 07 11:57:36 -0700 2008 4087222 10271 Rubee 1 4086998 Costco has it in a big container---I've given some to all my friends........love it! Mon Oct 06 21:28:10 -0700 2008 4085851 132857 dockhl 1 4087113 I'm in love with the stuff. Pimenton a la Vera. Best threads./story on this I know: http://www.chow.com/general_topics_digest/3117 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/416513 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/414248 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/314739 Mon Oct 06 22:58:42 -0700 2008 4085851 18222 maria lorraine 1 4087203 The container I have is sweet, not hot, in addition to the smoked flavor. I got a big container of McCormicks at the restaurant supply place. The label says Smoked Paprika: Paprika Ahumada. I've been putting it in everything, it's a lot more subtle than the hot paprika I usually use. Tue Oct 07 02:47:26 -0700 2008 4085851 11097 coll 1 4087952 I like it in a mushroom soup with onions that calls for a good amount of paprika. I use half sweet smoked paprika and half unsmoked. It's great. Tue Oct 07 09:55:44 -0700 2008 4085851 123744 karykat 1 4088245 Here a great easy recipe if you're looking to try using smoked paprika. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/ROAST-CHICKEN-BREASTS-WITH-GARBANZO-BEANS-TOMATOES-AND-PAPRIKA-242113 Tue Oct 07 11:26:38 -0700 2008 4085851 138415 Dave O 2 4088274 Dave, that IS a good recipe using smoked paprika...have made it twice...ALSO excellent is goodhealthgourmet's black bean dip here on this board ... it also uses smoked paprika. I think I've made that dip about 6 times now! Tue Oct 07 11:41:53 -0700 2008 4088245 11983 Val 3 4090147 Val, thanks for the tip. Im going to try making the dip this weekend, it looks great. Wed Oct 08 06:33:43 -0700 2008 4088274 138415 Dave O 1 4091365 For anyone who hasn't had a frost yet . . . I made some fried green tomatoes and put some of the spicy smoked paprika in the cornmeal for dusting. They were so addictive! Just dip in egg, dip in a mix of cornmeal, salt, pepper, paprika, and teeny pinch of cayenne, and fry. OMG. seriously. Wed Oct 08 13:51:36 -0700 2008 4085851 14499 pigtails 2 4091405 Heh. In the same vein...we (well, I) seasoned the cornmeal for our last batch of fried okra with a bit of smoked hot paprika (along with S&P). It was right tasty, if I do say so myself. :-) Wed Oct 08 14:04:16 -0700 2008 4091365 86822 hohokam
