Smoked paprika, also known as smoked Spanish paprika and pimento, is made from chili peppers just like regular paprika. However, as the name suggests, the peppers are smoke-dried over an oak fire before being ground into a powder. While other paprikas are primarily used for garnish, smoked paprika powder has more complexity that brings out the smoky flavors of grilled foods. It is an essential ingredient in dry rubs, jambalaya, ratatouille, paella and dishes that feature chorizo sausages or beams.
