Spanish Hot Smoked Pimenton Truffle
Smoked pimenton or paprika is one of the defining spices in Spanish foods. Everything it touches tints it red with a smoky sweet flavor. It is most ubiquitously recognized in Spanish sausage chorizo. Here, instead of meat, I am using it to flavor chocolate which imbues this truffle with smokiness that reminds me of spicy sausages and bacon. I read in a magazine that bacon is the most attractive smell to men far above any floral or citrus fragrance. That you’re better off attracting men with bacon than dousing yourself with perfume. I wonder if that partially explains the recent craze towards bacon and chocolate; aphrodisiac with an aphrodisiac. Well, V-day is coming up! xo
