The nature of a jumble is to mix all the ingredients for a beautiful blend of flavours. Our butter bean, pearl couscous and chorizo variation is a warming dish made with punchy spices and a slight kick of heat.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Get Started
1
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt.
  • Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the pearl couscous. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, 14-15 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a sieve. Pop back in the pan with a drizzle of oil. Stir through to stop it sticking together.
Prep Time
2
  • Meanwhile, cut the lemon into wedges. Drain the butter beans. Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and chorizo. Fry, 8-10 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Once crispy, add the peri peri seasoning and drained butter beans. Stir-fry until warmed through, 1-2 mins. 
  • Drizzle in the honey (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Toss until coated and combined. 
Add Flavour
3
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, pesto, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both).
  • Add in a good squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. 
  • Once cooked, add the pearl couscous, chorizo and butter beans to the tomato bowl.
  • Crumble in the Greek style salad cheese. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  •  
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • When everything's ready, share the jumble between bowls. 
  • Top with a handful of rocket. Drizzle a little olive oil over the leaves.
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges to finish.

Review summary

Updated on Sept 2026
  • Flavour: The combination of chorizo, pesto and butter beans works well together, with the honey adding a pleasant sweetness to the chicken.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with minimal washing up and a short cook time.
  • Suggestions: If you prefer less spice, reduce or skip the peri peri seasoning; adding a little extra moisture if the dish feels dry helps bring it together. Some found the dish benefited from a squeeze of extra lemon.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers made a great breakfast the following morning with a fried egg on top.
