Sweet smoked paprika, also known as pimentón, is a distinctive type of paprika that is smoked over oak wood before being ground. This process imparts a rich, smoky flavor that elevates dishes with its depth and complexity. Sweet smoked paprika is particularly popular in Spanish cuisine, where it is used in dishes like patatas bravas, roasted meats, and stews. Its sweet yet smoky flavor pairs well with grilled vegetables, seafood, and even cheese-based dishes. The unique taste of sweet smoked paprika makes it a favorite among chefs looking to add a sophisticated twist to traditional recipes.

To use this mixture, combine tomato sauce and chili powder in equal amounts. Then, incorporate in dishes in a 1:1 replacement to sweet or regular paprika.

While newbies might think all hot sauces just taste like “hot,” they couldn’t be more wrong. Experienced chili-heads understand that every hot sauce has a complex flavor profile as a result of the various peppers and additional ingredients it contains. From goes-with-everything garlic to  tangy vinegar, sweet fruits, refreshing citrus, and beyond, each hot sauce has a complex flavor that can make or break a dish. Get to know your sauce, read the ingredient list, and try a dash on its own to decide how to best utilize the various layers of deliciousness.
