Paprika
(Paprika)  Paprika (Capsicum annuum) is a New World seasoning,  It is commonly found in powdered form, which is made by grinding dried, aromatic, sweet red peppers, usually the Tomato or Bell pepper. Most commercial brands come from California, Hungary, Spain, and South America. It is very popular ingredient in Hungarian recipes, and we also prefer to use the Hungarian Paprika, as the flavor seems to be the best.  See the nutritional chart below.  The actual size of paprika can be seen in the photo to the left.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
