4 Substitutes for Smoked Paprika in Vegan Sausage Rolls
1. Regular sweet paprika + few drops liquid smoke
Ratio: 1:1 paprika + 1 - 2 drops liquid smoke
Liquid smoke is very powerful - use sparingly. Produces a convincing smoky paprika flavour.
2. Chipotle powder
Ratio: 1/2 the amount
Smokier and hotter - reduce quantity and expect more heat. Brilliant for Mexican-inspired dishes.
3. Ancho chilli powder
Ratio: 1:1
Dried ancho chillies have a gentle smokiness - a good substitute with less heat than chipotle.
4. Pimentón de la Vera (sweet)
Ratio: 1:1
This IS smoked paprika - if you find this, use it; it's the Spanish original.
