Paprika
Paprika is made from ground sweet red peppers. Paprika's flavor may be mild, hot or smoky, depending on the variety. It's traditionally used in goulash but also works with eggs, potatoes, chicken and fish.
Combining different types of paprika can add levels of flavor to a dish. Paprika is a strong flavor, so some experts suggest adding it at the start of cooking to give it time to meld with other flavors.
