Recipes featuring strong flavours?

I recently tested positive for COVID and my taste has just vanished! Everything is currently tasting bland. I was wondering if anyone had any recipes they'd recommend with punchy flavours. I've noticed I can taste mustard and gherkins so I am eating lots of them at the moment but recipes featuring strong ingriedients (chilli, horseradish, mustard, gherkins, capers etc) would be greatly appreciated!

Try putting Harrisa paste in your cooking, tomato, garlic and chilli - it will sit on your breath for a while. You can find jarred Harrisa paste in your supermarket. I enjoyed this recipe, but I also add harrisa to aubergine, turkey and other meats.

This is packed with flavor, and I use evaporated milk so it is not packed with calories (I limit the fat in the recipe, electing to cook the onions with a little butter and some stock). Feel free to up the spices for your current preference! (I serve it over seasoned rice)
