Creamy Paprika Pork ... so delicious

A tasty dish any day of the week, and as pork is usually reasonably priced could fit into your menu plans well. Serve with fluffy white rice or if like myself and Eddie you prefer a lower carb alternative serve with cauliflower rice.

From an original idea here

Paprika is a pepper-based spice full of antioxidants that helps fight a range of diseases due largely to its ability to fight oxidative stress. Paprika helps reduce inflammation and may be able to prevent and fight autoimmune conditions and some cancers.
