Chef’s Inspiration

Smoked paprika, I have alaways loved cooking with paprika - putting it in nearly everying! But I will never forget how mind blown I was when I discovered smoked paprika. The aroma as you remove the lid, the smokeyness and sweetness it adds to this chili's tomato base with a touch of heat. Hearty, wholesome and filling.

Preparation

Follow timing on MANNA package, this time varies by +/- 3 minutes depending on the level of your simmer and how cold your fridge is. You want to ensure that the internal temperature reaches about 165°F/74°C, piping hot. Refresh bun in the oven. Bowl up desired amount, top with green onion & MANNA Drizzle that acts as a plant based sour cream in this dish. For added creaminess and sustenance, cut up some fresh avocado if you have some. Delish!
