Why We Love It

This is a pantry staple that gives simple ingredients real depth. One of our favorite ways to start a dish is to gently cook garlic in extra virgin olive oil, then briefly stir in the pimentón before adding tomatoes, peppers, or beans. That fragrant base brings together a few everyday ingredients into a richly flavored meal.
