Overview

Stirring this hot paprika into paprikash or goulash gives the dish its deep red color and a sweet pepper flavor with a kick. It also works in rubs, chili and stews or as a finishing sprinkle on roast potatoes.

Direct sourcing from Hungary brings the flavor that classic Hungarian dishes expect. Its heat means it is not a drop-in swap for sweet paprika in mild recipes.

Who it's for

Fans of Central European cooking and anyone building spice rubs get authentic hot paprika. Families feeding heat sensitive eaters should keep a sweet paprika instead.

Pros and cons

Pros

Cons

Performance notes

Flavor develops when paprika blooms in warm fat, so add it to oil or butter early in goulash for the deepest color. Used as a garnish, it adds color and a sharper bite.
