From the Test Kitchen

Smoked paprika is an essential ingredient in Spanish cuisine: its distinctive flavor and beautiful color bring plenty of vibrant character to numerous dishes. Here, we’re using it in a blend with cumin and turmeric (in a nod to the region's North African influences) to give our hearty chickpea and potato stew warming depth. For a sweet lift, we're also adding in the juice of a pixie mandarin—a late-season citrus variety. Chefs, be sure to stir your garlicky aioli into each bowl of stew for a touch of welcome creaminess.
