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 2Oriental Chicken
This is one of the most popular recipes on the site and is packed with flavour, lifting a simple chicken recipe into the realm of something really special (and easy).
Serves 8Eliza Acton's Vegetable Mulligatawny
Mulligatawny was highly fashionable in Victorian times and, indeed, this recipe was influenced by Eliza Acton, one of that era's most prolific cookery writers. Spicy, warming and vegetarian, it's a real classic.
Serves 4Hot and Sour Thai Chicken Broth
A Thai Tom Yum soup full of flavour and with hardly any fat, this lovely recipe is just as good made with prawns.
Serves 4Seafood and Coconut Laksa
The soups of South-East Asia are all united by their punchy flavours, spicy elements and use of fresh herbs, fish and meat. This laksa is a really authentic version, but if you're short of time, use a ready-made paste.
Serves 6-8Spiced Oranges in Port
These lovely spiced oranges are superb with any cold meats, especially ham. Make it in advance, so that the flavours have the chance to develop.
Serves 4Spiced Lamb and Cashew Kebabs
Following a holiday in Hong Kong, Delia was delighted to discover that, on her return home, it was easy enough to recreate these gorgeous spicy lamb kebabs.
Serves 2-4Mexican Chicken Chilli with Yellow Tomato Salsa
This wonderful, Mexican-inspired recipe is packed with zingy flavours and creaminess too! A brilliant choice for both family eating and entertaining.
Serves 4-6Latin American Beef Stew with Marinated Red Onion Salad
An unusual, colourful stew that is perfect for entertaining - just add plain rice to serve. Spices, squash, sweetcorn and red pepper provide the Latin American elements, giving the dish masses of visual appeal and great flavour.
Makes a 1 litre jarSpiced Pickled Pears
This unusual pickle looks impressive and tastes wonderful! Serve the pears with cold meats and poultry... they'd go particularly well with gammon or ham, and would make excellent food gifts.
Makes about six 0.5 litre jarsSpiced Pickled Runner Beans
Anyone who grows runner beans will know that sometimes they run away with you! If you're suffering a surfeit and don't know what to do with them, this lovely pickle is the answer.
