  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lime wedges, to serve

For the slaw:

  • 200g roasted red peppers in brine from a jar, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 200g each mango and pineapple flesh, cut into bite-size cubes

  3. Meanwhile, for the slaw, put the roasted red peppers, carrot, red onion, mango and pineapple in a bowl. Add the jerk seasoning and lime zest and juice, season and toss well to combine.
  4. Divide the slaw between plates and garnish with parsley. Top with the chicken and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
