I've been on a paprika kick lately.
We made a Goulash for the Slick Rock run that kicked ass.

1# lean ground beef
4 servings of pasta
large onion
1 large can San Marzano tomatoes
garlic
salt and pepper
beef broth
water
olive oil
smoked Hungarian paprika
Red wine, I used Barbera.

Brown the hamburger in olive oil, add minced garlic, s&p, onion. Cook on low until the onion is translucent. Add the pasta, tomatoes and enough broth to cover, keep adding broth or water and simmering until the pasta is not quite done to your liking. Let stand for a few minutes, adjust seasonings and add enough wine to make a sauce, return to a simmer. I like adding wine at the end of the dish but you need to cook it long enough to get the alcohol out.
Serve with a salad, good bread, and the rest of the Barbera ;)


Tonight I did burgers with paprika and cayenne pepper.

I'm just digging the smokey flavor.
 
smoke your own?
 
No I just buy Hungarian smoked paprika.

We did rib eyes on the griddle tonight, I gave mine a dusting of paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. The paprika added a nice smokey sweet overtone that cuts the rich fatty flavor of the steak.

Maybe that's the solution for e9999's ribeye problem?
 
Fresh pork belly

For breakfast once in a while, including this morning, I'll do a slow cast iron saute on 3/8" thick sliced and trimmed fresh pork belly using smoked finishing salt and smoked paprika towards the end of the cooking process.

I also like smoked paprika in combo with ancho chile powder, toasted and ground cumin and smoked finishing salt atop a fried or poached egg.

That's how I started the day :)

Nice. I use that Hungarian paprika as a large part of my BBQ rub. Reminds me I need to go buy some charcoal in the AM and fire up the smoker. Salted pork belly sounds amazing. My dad makes salted fatback bacon, it's pretty darn good.
 
Very, very nice---Ever try ground chipotle in place of the Ancho? Bet you'll like it.
