DEVILLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Devilled is an adjective that describes a method of cooking or preparing food, typically meat or eggs, which involves adding various spicy or pungent ingredients to enhance the flavor. The term originated in the 18th century and is derived from the word "devil," which in this context refers to a highly seasoned or spicy dish.
When food is devilled, it is often seasoned with ingredients such as hot sauce, mustard, cayenne pepper, or paprika, among others. These spices are mixed into a sauce, marinade, or rub and then applied to the food before cooking. The aim is to create a hot, spicy, or savory taste that may have a tangy or smoky kick.
Devilling is commonly associated with foods like devilled eggs, where hard-boiled eggs are cut in half, the yolks are removed and mixed with a blend of seasonings, and then the mixture is piped or spooned back into the egg halves. Other examples include devilled chicken, shrimp, or kidneys, which are often marinated in a spicy sauce before being grilled, roasted, or fried.
The term "devilled" can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is intense, fiery, or stimulating. It can refer to a person's temperament, a style of cooking, or even a form of language.
