They even freeze beautifully, too. The protein in eggs tempers the perception of spicy flavours, meaning you can add a lot more chilli than other recipes, without it blowing your head off.

Ingredients

OLIVE OIL, FOR GREASING

6 EGGS, BEATEN

4 TBSP GREEK YOGURT

1 TSP MIXED SPICE

6 TBSP POLENTA OR CORNMEAL

4 TBSP FINELY GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE, PLUS

EXTRA FOR SPRINKLING

1 TSP RED CHILLI FLAKES

50G CARROT, GRATED

100G FROZEN SWEETCORN

3 SPRING ONIONS, CUT INTO SMALL ROUNDS

100G COURGETTE, CUT INTO SMALL CUBES

150G SWEET POTATO, GRATED

1 TSP BAKING POWDER

SALT AND PEPPER

TO GARNISH

1 RED CHILLI, THINLY SLICED

1 TSP CHOPPED DILL

Method

  1. PREHEAT the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4 and grease the sections of a 12-hole muffin tray with oil or line them with paper muffin cases.

  2. PLACE all the ingredients in a large bowl, season generously with salt and pepper and mix together until combined.

     

  3. POUR the mixture into the prepared muffin holes, then sprinkle the muffins with a little extra Parmesan.

  4. BAKE for 20 minutes. Remove the muffins from the tray immediately to prevent them from going soggy and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  5. SERVE the muffins warm or cold, sprinkled with extra Parmesan, sliced chillies and dill.

    Fact: The world's hottest chilli, the Carolina Reaper, can contain more capsaicin than pepper spray.

     

    WEAPONS-GRADE SPICE

    Chillies evolved the ability to produce spicy capsaicin as a defence against mammals, to deter them from coming along and scoffing the fruit and destroying the plant’s all-important seeds as they pass through their digestive tracts.

    So why do the plants spend all that energy making a fleshy, eye-catching, otherwise tasty fruit? Well, the answer is that in the wild chillies use birds to disperse their seeds. Avian digestive tracts are harmless to chilli seeds, allowing them to pass through unscathed and spread far and wide. You see, capsaicin does not affect birds at all, it’s a selective deterrent that puts off foes but is undetectable to friends. Plants are endlessly fascinating.
