The Secret Ingredient of Portuguese Kitchens

Massa de Pimentão is indispensable in the Iberian Peninsula. It's the secret to adding rich, umami depth to meats, marinades, and sauces. Unlike paprika, this pepper paste has a fresh, concentrated pepper flavor that dissolves easily. Use it as a rub for roasting, a key component in stews (ensopados), or simply as a condiment to enhance the flavor of your favorite foods.
