Paprika is a glorious red spice created by grinding dried sweet red bell peppers and chile peppers into a fine powder. It’s available in sweet, hot, and smoked varieties to name just a few. The rich color and piquant flavor of paprika infuses the other ingredients in this recipe. Paprika also adds some health benefits to the recipe, such as protecting the eyes from macular degeneration.
