About the product

Ziółko Ground Sweet Paprika is the dried and ground fruit of the sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum), in a mild variety, without the spicy kick of capsaicin. It comes from Spain – a classic region for growing sweet peppers. Its mildness is achieved by removing the seeds before grinding.

The flavour profile is delicately fruity, slightly sweet, with a subtle depth. Main role in the recipe: adding a vibrant red colour and a mild aroma to dishes without increasing their heat. A staple spice in Hungarian goulash and paprikash, Spanish paella, and Polish lecsó and meat sauces. It also works well in soups (paprika, vegetable), rice, minced meats and when marinating poultry.

Uses

A seasoning for meat and vegetable dishes: Hungarian beef and chicken goulash, paprikash, Spanish seafood paella, Polish lecsó, Szczecin paprikash, and oriental rice dishes. It also works well in tomato sauces for pasta, pepper soup, minced meat, poultry marinades and homemade sausages.

Suggested use

Add at the start of stewing, whilst frying onions and garlic – the aroma of sweet paprika develops on contact with fat. Typical serving: 1–2 teaspoons per pot of stew or 4 portions of a dish. It burns easily – do not add to a hot pan without fat, as it will become bitter. It pairs well with hot paprika, cumin, garlic, oregano and thyme.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from light, moisture and foreign odours.
