    I've never made it before but thought it sounded nice. I bought kale for it, but have no celery😒, so might carry the recipe over or omit the celery. I had rice last night and forgot it had rice in it, so don't really want it again. @Greying_Pilgrim With having mostly paprika in, is it a bit like Goulash? 


    Not really.  I should say if anything it's more like a pilaf style dish.  I think the original has meat in it - if nowt else, a ham hock bone would be used to make the stock that the rice then absorbs as it cooks, but i make mine veggie, so use a veggie stock cube.  Speaking entirely personally, I like the celery 'depth' of flavour, it and the parsley seem to give the dish something.  But I realise that some people are allergic to celery, and would leave it out anyway.  But I like celery as a base in dishes.  The recipe that I use to make my Hoppin John is from the Deal & DeLuca cookbook, and there isn't paprika in that version.

    Thanks for your reply. I can only find recipes online with paprika in, I guess maybe because of the omission of bacon, as they are Vegan. I think I will wait and do it with celery; as I'd like to do it properly, at least for the first time to see if I actually like it, and would make it again.
