These recipes, all contain Paprika as a major wild food ingredient.

Paprika is a seasoning made from he grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). The name itself derives from the Hungarian paprika, which derives from the Serbian paprika, which is a diminutive of papar, which in turn was derived from the Latin piper, for 'pepper'. Paprika may also be smoked to add additional flavour.

Paprika (pimentón in Spain, colorau in Portugal, "chiltoma" in Nicaragua) is principally used to season and colour rices, stews, and soups, such as goulash. In Spain, Germany, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Turkey and Portugal, paprika is also used in the preparation of sausages as an ingredient that is mixed with meats and other spices.
