Adopted this recipe because I am loving my new smoky paprika...the original description was the following...A sweet friend in the Canary Islands sent me some wonderful smoky paprika -- and this week, our paper published this great recipe from "Desperation Dinners" with a recommendation to try the smoky version of one of the most overlooked spices. One taste and you'll never see paprika as "just a garnish" again.

- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons instant minced garlic

directions
- Bring 2 cups of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and cook 17 minutes or until tender.

- Heat the oil in a large, deep over medium-high heat.
- Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings, adding them to the skillet as you slice.

- Raise the heat to high, and bring tomato mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

This was okay but not great. Followed the recipe, using fresh garlic but this just wasn't a hit. Probably will not make again.Reply

This dish is EXCELLENT, full of flavour! Smoked paprika is now a favourite of mine, so I added more than the 2 tbsp called for. I also used fresh garlic (sauteed along with the onions). Other than that, I prepared this easy recipe just as directed. Everyone loved it and I'll be making it often; thanks for posting!Reply

Awesome Mox! I made this the other day for lunch and am just now getting around to reviewing it. The sauce was tangy from the tomato paste, with a smoothness from the sour cream. The smokey flavor was fairly mild, and the combination of the three was great! I did add extra garlic, and used fresh instead of instant, and browned them just a bit before adding the onion. I think this would be great with a little heat too...I sprinkled some cayenne on mine, and loved the bite. Thanks Moxie! :)Reply
