Spicy Recipes

Not just curries, but also more delicately spiced recipes from Eastern Europe, Thailand and the Caribbean all contribute to a spicy theme.

Serves 6

Braised Beef Goulash with Smoked Pimenton

Using smoked pimentón from southern Spain gives this goulash authenticity and a wonderful smoky, spicy flavour: one of Delia's favourite casseroles.

Serves 4

Chicken Baked with 30 Cloves of Garlic

This recipe really does involve cooking chicken with 30 cloves of garlic. If you've never tried it give it a go - the slow cooking breaks down the garlic's strong flavour, making it sweet and mellow.

Serves 4

Chicken Basque

One of the very best one-pot recipes in the world, this lovely Mediterranean combination of chicken, rice, olives and peppers is given extra kick with the addition of chorizo and paprika.

Curried Chicken Salad

This is unbelievably easy if you buy ready-cooked chicken. Thinking ahead, too, it's also a great recipe for leftover turkey on Boxing Day.

Serves 2-3

Chorizo and white bean pepper pot

This lovely, warming supper dish is packed with flavour and plenty of Spanish influence although, as Delia has discovered, you can now buy perfectly good chorizo produced in this country too!

Serves 4

Caribbean Chicken with Salsa

A dead simple recipe this, with a wonderfully exotic combination of textures and flavours. Perfect for serving to friends.

Serves 2

As Creole cooking only ever uses green peppers (and the colour’s nice), I’ve included a fresh pepper here. Otherwise, the equivalent amount from a jar of roasted peppers can be used without detracting from the end result.

Serves 4

Spiced turkey in a creamed coconut sauce

A very English, easy curry to use up the last bits of the turkey. No need to roast and grind your own spices (we are on holiday) – Sharwood’s hot curry powder is the next best thing.
