Devilled food is basically food that has been cooked with a very hot pepper so most ‘devilled’ recipes contain cayenne pepper. Often mustard is in the mix somewhere too along with other spicy ingredients.
Devilled kidneys are a Victorian English breakfast dish that are still quite popular today and simply require a gently sauteing of the prepared kidneys in a spicy blend of ingredients.
