Smoked Paprika Tomato Sauce
Smoked paprika tomato sauce is a beloved specialty of Mediterranean cuisine, combining the freshness of tomatoes with the rich, spicy aroma of smoked paprika. This sauce is excellent with pasta, grilled meats or roasted vegetables. As the garlic and onion sizzle in the olive oil, the spicy aroma of smoked paprika fills the kitchen, while the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes softens the sauce. This sauce is a perfect choice for a quick dinner or a special occasion. The secret of the sauce lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the right balance of flavors. If you want a more intense smoky flavor, increase the amount of smoked paprika, or if you want milder flavors, add a little extra olive oil. The sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for days, so you can use it anytime for a quick, tasty dish.
