Smoked paprika is a popular spice in Spain and is now widely available here in most supermarkets and delicatessens. Usually smoked over oak, it can be sweet or hot so check the label and adjust the quantity you use accordingly. Use it in marinades and sauces to give hint of smokiness or add to soups and stews for a more robust flavour.
