Just picked up on this recipe...Peter, you should be ashamed of yourself mixing Kosher salt and pork...how could you betray all the Hebrews on the board?



Seriously, sounds like a great recipe, even though I don't eat much meat anymore I still eat shrimp...one thing, if you bought the paprika at an Indian grocer, what you probably got was the hot Hungarian paprika that Hungarians are know for in their dishes...and that's straight for the horses, er, Hungarian's mouth...Marie and I are both of Hungarian derivation and we use that in just about everything requiring paprike...love it...and my step-mother makes my grandmother's old recipe for Chicken Paprikash...yum...

Actually, putting the Kosher salt on the pork makes the pork Kosher. I asked the Rabbi and he said it's ok
