Think regular paprika after a night at the campfire. Made from peppers that are smoked over wood, this condiment lends haunting smokiness to anything it touches. Add some to your next deviled egg recipe; use it to replace the smokiness of bacon or pancetta in a fish chowder; or add to a spice rub to lavish on grilled chicken, beef or fish. You can find smoked paprika in most supermarkets.
