A fantastic addition to a table full of barbequed meats and fish. Heaped with flavour, think Caribbean spicy with just a hint of Spanish in there too!

This recipe is a part of the Jerked Lamb Roast with Black Beans and Rice but I thought it deserved its own place in the world. It goes very well with loads of dishes, and is pretty yummy by itself for lunch the day after the night before!

Store this one away...it is accidentally vegan, though if you wrap it in Flour and Duck Fat Tortillas and top with grated cheese, which I highly recommend, it is miles away from vegan, but so good. Either way...totally up to you.
