Good on ya for finding the real paprika! Typical paprika is mild and sweet, and even sweet Hungarian paprika has much more flavor. But be careful, if you look hard enough you can find the hot Hungarian paprika and it’s quite a surprise! I use a mix of the hot and sweet to make Hungarian sausage, and I mix the hot with cumin and chili powder when I’m making tacos. It’s great stuff to have around! I never buy the lame Spanish kind, it’s really more for color, IMHO.

We make a very similar recipe but with an Italian flavor (see Giada’s recipe for this) We add celery, fresh baby spinach, and top with a grating of parmigiano reggiano.
