Smoky paprika is a staple in Spain-used often in various dishes-imported variety is recommended. I got mine in a local home store. The American variety is a little different. This is so simple and yet so good. Very different and can be a side dish, an appetizer, or a snack. I found the idea for the recipe in the newspaper in an article on interesting new condiments. When I made it, I wanted to eat the whole thing! Other vegetables that can be used are Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, pearl onions or a mixture of all of these. It makes the vegetable taste like it is wrapped in bacon.
