烤紅椒粉雞肉芝士 Grilled paprika chicken with cheese

邪惡，簡單，受大人細路歡迎。紅椒粉（paprika）是菜式的主角。主要增添顏色及帶出芳香味道。當中帶甜的甜椒粉（sweet paprika）最普遍使用。不同地方所出產的甜度，辣度，香味及顏色有很大的分別。既然要利用它的顏色，選購方面，以鮮色為佳，味道帶一點香甜較理想。

辣椒粉的黃，橙，紅色來自當中的類胡蘿蔔素（carotenoids）,含豐富維他命A。試了好幾款，最喜歡左邊的noble sweet paprika,西班牙出產。顏色鮮紅，味帶清甜。使菜式鮮艷。中間的甜椒粉沒有來源但美國出品，不及noble sweet品種的靚但氣味濃郁，刺鼻，帶很微少的辣味。右邊是煙燻甜椒粉，煙燻味很強，在食物上，特別醃肉，着色深。除了中間外，其餘兩款品牌也推介。
