  1. I was in the supermarket the other day, and I noticed something called smoked paprika. I had never
    seen it before, so I figured I ought to pick up a bottle. It is this product:
    cubanfoodguy.combadia smoked paprika.htm . It looks like regular paprika, albeit a
    little darker, and smells VERY smoky. Any ideas?

    --Erica

  2. spose its just paprika made from ground smoked peppers, kinda like a sweet chili powder but my GOD,
    the cost. I never paid over $1 for Badia spices.

    I got curious whether Cuban goods are really available. What this guy sells are food items typical
    of what would be eaten in Cuba, but from sources outside Cuba. I thought there might be an exception
    for food in the trade embargo against Cuba, but apparently not.

    Arroz con Pollo (Chicken and Rice)

    A traditional meal that is common throughout Spain. Easy to prepare, this delicious dish can
    serve a crowd.

    Ingredients:

    3 pounds of chicken, cut into small pieces 6 tbs. olive oil 1 union, chopped 4 tbs. chopped garlic
    salt and pepper 6 tsp. chopped parsley 5 woodfire roasted piquillo peppers 1 tsp. smoked paprika 1
    pinch of saffron 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth (use chicken bouillon)
    1/2 cup dry white wine 2 cups white rice

    Preparation Instructions:

    Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large deep pan (rice will be cooked here too) heat
    the oil and sauté the chicken until golden on all sides. Remove to a warm platter. Add the onion,
    garlic, and parsley and sauté until the union is soft. Add the peppers, paprika, saffron, broth,
    wine salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the rice and cook over medium high heat, uncovered,
    for about 20 minutes, stirring until the rice is semi-dry but some liquid remains. Bury the chicken
    in the rice. Cover and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. Turn the rice and the chicken over
    with a fork from bottom to top; cover and simmer for another 10 minutes. Transfer rice and chicken
    to a serving platter and garnish with a little parsley.

    Serve with some fresh bread and a green salad.

    Buen Provecho!

    Smoked paprika is a hugely common accoutrement in the Basque parts of Spain and France. So, instead
    of trying to figure out how to get it past any embargo, click here instead:

    1/2 sweet onion -- thin slices 4 Tbsp Unsalted butter

    2. Coat chicken breasts in oil.

    3. Rub on most of the mixed paprikas (reserve 1/2 Tbsp) and rub all over, on both sides, the chicken
    breasts. Place on a covered plate in the refrigerator for about three hours. Take out about 1/2
    hour before cooking.

    almost cooked (about 25 minutes).

    7. Take out chicken, turn over, skin side up, and sprinkle on remaining smoky paprika. GRILL the
    chicken until the skin is very crisp.

    8. Let sit until set for about 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1" slices.

    9. Spread out the caramelize lemons on a serving platter. Place the sliced chicken breasts on top.

    I have been using sweet smoked paprika for a couple of years now since it has been imported to Oz.
    It is truly a delicious addition to a variety of dishes. If a recipe calls for an amount of paprika
    - like veal stews etc. I would just add a tsp of sm. parika and the rest as per recipe. Other
    suggestions are: dust finished guacomole dips and other dips like hummus, mayonnaise, with sm.
    paprika. Mix with dried herbs and garlic or onion powders for dry rubs for roasted chicken parts.
    Use liberally in chilli dips. Saute chopped vegtables with sm. parika whilst making chicken
    ciaccitori (sp) etc. Dust the top of layered potato dishes with sm. paprika, plus melted butter etc.
    It goes particularly well with potatoes. Any dishes with smoked meat - like chorizo sausage -
    obviously the Spanish connetion here. A little on a finished paella.

    Try some of these, you might get addicted like me! Cheers Bronwyn

    I'm going to get some. It seems like it would be good in recipes where chorizo is used to get the
    flavor but not so much fat. I may try it with chicken too, i go thru LOTS of paprika around here.

    It's glorious, isn't it... we just use it like normal paprika and it adds a slight extra richness to
    the flavour. You only need a teaspoon or so - it's pretty strong 🙂

    some... 🙂

    What a friggin rip-off that site is. I can get you those cured serrano hams for 1/3 (same quality)
    the price in Newark, NJ where there are dozens of Spanish and Portuguese shops. Same thing with
    the cheeses.

    Want good quality spices for cheap, go the the Indi/Pakistan stores; just make sure they keep the
    place clean.

    The internet can be a great source for bargains, but there are a lot of places like the
    aforementioned, which people must be smoking hash to think they are getting a bargain.

    Great! Send me a list of what hams and cheeses are available and I'll send you an order. I can't
    help but wonder how you know the quality is the same if you have never ordered from this site, but
    I'll take your word for it.

    It may surprise you to learn that not all of us live in Newark or anywhere else there are Spanish
    and Portuguese shops. It may further surprise you to learn that some people the internet not to find
    bargains but rather to find goods that are not available locally - and are willing to pay a premium
    price if that's what's required.

    Iglesisas is a very well know type of serrano ham throughout Spain.

    List? Name your cheese or ham, I'll give you the price. Hell, I'd go out of my way and box them for
    you for free.

    It's not news to me that certain people shop on the net, because they can't get things locally; but
    Geezzzz! Shop around first!!! It never hurts to do your homework. What you can get on certain sits
    for a price, can always be purchased at 1/2 or 1/3 at another site.

    I just found that site super expensive--a true rip-off.
