Photos of Chicken in Creamy Smoked Paprika Sauce by Mario
The recipe for this dish is quite original and different, it was inspired by Tom’s trip to Spain a few years ago.
While in Barcelona, he visited La Boqueria, a large public market with a very diverse selection of goods. It was then when he came across for the very first time with the Pimenton de la Vera Dulce – Spanish sweet smoked paprika – and he fell in love with it, well, so did we, because he brought some of it back with him! and when it comes to Spanish cuisine is one of our favourite ingredients.
As we learned over the years, it is often used not only for the deep smoky flavour, which by the way is amazing, but also for its vibrant colour and that’s exactly what we were looking for when working on this recipe. It drastically changes the flavour of the whole dish, gives it an incredible depth and above all – it’s delicious!
