"Cloquet hated reality but realized it was still the only place to get a good steak."
-Woody Allen, Author
I love the smokiness of paprika and this sauce of peppers and paprika is so lovely with the sweetness of the braised shallots. Big, rich flavors in a healthy dish that's low in fat, saturated fat and sodium.
