How to Use
Add Pride of Szeged Sweet Paprika early in cooking to bloom the spice in oil or butter before adding other ingredients — this draws out the full color and flavor. Use 1–2 tablespoons per pound of meat for traditional chicken paprikash: heat oil, sauté onions, remove from heat, stir in paprika, then add chicken. For Hungarian goulash, use 2–3 tablespoons per pound of beef along with onions, caraway, and broth. Sprinkle over deviled eggs, potato salad, and hummus for color and gentle flavor. Season roasted potatoes, vegetables, and grilled proteins. Add to rubs, marinades, and spice blends. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; reseal the tin tightly after each use to preserve aroma and color.
