Equal parts herbal and zesty, this simple marinade infuses the chicken with bright, spicy flavor. It’s an easy weekday dinner with Saturday night flair.
“I put this recipe together on my day off, for my days off. After a week in a professional kitchen, I just want to cook easy, delicious food without making a mess. This juicy roast chicken, sparkling with spice and citrus, is an unbeatable Sunday dinner in my house.”
-Nina Compton
This highly prized Spanish varietal of paprika has a uniquely hot, smoldering flavor that comes not just from superior chiles, but the artisanal drying and grinding process.
Much like the Champagne region of France, Hot Smoked Pimentón Paprika can only come from the La Vera region of Spain. Production is highly regulated to ensure high quality and authenticity.

Onions! They are used in everything but they get no credit. They add sweetness to sauces, you can throw them raw into a salad for zing, they’re great pickled too... Just so multipurpose.
Grilled pompano. Simple, delicious, full of flavor and meaty.
Any type of curry, it warms my soul.
Fried flying fish with parsley sauce. My granny would make this on special occasions.
Throw a themed dinner party that covers all the courses or add a Creole kick to your midweek menu. Simple, soulful cooking with delightfully deep flavor and a splash of spice.
