Recipe Notes
Many of my recipes call for garlic to be sautéed gently, not browned. The flavor of browned garlic is slightly bitter, and for some recipes that’s not what you want, but for this one the browning adds a great flavor, especially when combined with the small amount of ham and the smoked paprika. All of this comes together to make a great sauce.
