I pinched this recipe from Sunday Brunch programme on Channel 4 last week. I added the rice vinegar, sweetener basil and thyme to make it a bit more tangy but again it’s up to you. watch out for the Scotch Bonnet chilli as it may well blow your brains out. It does get better after a few mouthfuls (you may need to stock up on loo roll though!)
