Well, your ingredients are about the same as what I used, although I didn't use paprika just ground black. I think I need to have it in a restaurant to see what it should really be like!
One of my all time favourite dishes, since tasting it first in Spain in the early '60s. Make and eat all myself. I read once that a couple of leaves of rue was good added to it, unless you're pregnant, still add it along with a snip or two of tarragon.
Jan, paprika (either a little smoked Picante Pimenton or slightly more Spanish sweet) a must in my opinion!
