Paprika Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups tomato puree
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomato puree, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
3. Cover the saucepan and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the sauce until smooth.
5. Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and stir in the heavy cream. Return the saucepan to the heat and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Verdict:

This paprika sauce is a delicious addition to any meal. The smoked paprika adds a rich, smoky flavor to the sauce that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or roasted vegetables. The addition of heavy cream gives the sauce a silky texture and a subtle creaminess that balances out the bold flavors of the paprika and oregano.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve this paprika sauce over grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or pasta. It also makes a great dipping sauce for bread or roasted potatoes.
