Paper removed something spicy (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragout
'something spicy' is the definition.
(ragout is a spicy stew)
'paper removed' is the wordplay.
'paper' becomes 'rag paper' (rag can mean a newspaper).
'removed' becomes 'out' (taken out).
'rag'+'out'='RAGOUT'
(Other definitions for ragout that I've seen before include "Highly seasoned meat and vegetable stew" , "Rich stew" , "something spicy?" , "Stewed meat/veg dish" , "Highly-seasoned stew" .)
