The subject of this lesson is ‘The Scoville Scale’. In 1912, Wilbur Scoville created this scale to measure the heat in different chillies. The scale measures the amount of ‘capsaicin’ in the chilli, (the bit that makes it spicy). At the top of the scale, you’ve got the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chilli (!) at 2,000,000 Scoville Units, whilst the Jalapeño (star of this recipe) is only 3,500 Units. However, if you’re sensitive to heat we still recommend you go easy on the spice!

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Chop your peppers

1

Remove the cores from the red peppers, cut into ½cm slices then chop finely. Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Drain and thoroughly rinse the black beans and drain the sweetcorn. Roughly chop the jalapeños and coriander.

Cook the chorizo until crispy

2

Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the chorizo and cook until crispy.

Add the beans, corn and tomatoes

3

Once the chorizo is crispy, turn the heat to low. Add in the cherry tomatoes, black beans and sweetcorn. Toss everything together for 1 minute.

4

Add in as much jalapeño as you dare. Tip: Jalapeños aren’t the spiciest of chillies but they still have a decent kick - add them bit by bit and taste if you want to keep things cool.

Stir through your coriander

5

Remove the pan from the heat and toss in the red pepper, 1/2 tsp of salt and a good grind of pepper. Toss in your chopped coriander and squeeze over the juice of three quarters of your lime.

6

Enter yourself into a chilli eating competition.

7

Test for seasoning and add more salt and some pepper if needed. Serve your Mexican Jumble with crumbled feta and another squeeze of lime juice. Ándale!
