Jerk chicken with
coconut rice
If you’re going to take the time to make your own jerk marinade, you should really let it do its thing for as long as possible.

You could serve the cooked chicken with rice and peas, but where’s the fun in that? Try our sticky coconut rice and spicy pineapple sauce – it’s a game-changing combination.
Nachos with shredded
pork
One of the best things to come out of a slow cooker has to be shredded pork. The meat it yields and separates is so deliciously good that we would happily wait all day for it.
