Cookbook talk:Carrot Paprika Spread

[quote]You might want to add lecithin powder as an emulsifier[/quote] lecithin is made from EGGS. it ain't vegan...


 * The ingredients list it as "soy lecithin" so I don't think that's a problem. Jessicapierce 11:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

"Parpika" / "paprika"
As I understand it, these words refer to the same thing. But this recipe calls for "one parpika(s)," which the cook is to mash. This baffles me as I only know paprika as a powdered spice. Can anyone explain this ingredient? Jessicapierce 11:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Paprika really just means a pepper of the capsicum family. The powdered stuff is any of those fruit, dried and crushed; you can get hot, sweet, or mild paprika. "One paprika" would be like one bell pepper, or perhaps one sweet pepper (Italian pepper). Webaware talk 15:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I knew the source of the dried spice, but had never heard "paprika" used to refer to the fresh veg itself. Now I know! Jessicapierce 14:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Might want to add some serving suggestions.
