Chicken Chorizo Chickpea Stew with Smoked Paprika

Paprika comes in three main forms—sweet, hot, and smoked—but my absolute favorite is the smoked version, also known as pimenton. Made from peppers that are smoked, dried and then ground, smoked paprika is very different from its sweet and hot counterparts. Pimenton adds earthy, pungent, rich, smokey dimensions to this Spanish-inspired stew.

The Best Hot Chocolate

Cooler weather calls for cozying up with a warm cup of hot chocolate, especially now that we’re mostly stuck at home these days. While melting a pure bar of chocolate with milk and/or dream is one of the best ways to enjoy a cup at home, there are many chocolatiers who’ve created hot chocolate that’s easier to make, but no less delicious.
