Jerk chicken skewers
Serve these finger-licking skewers with pieces of fresh mango, black beans, a scattering of spring onions, fresh coriander and lime wedges for squeezing.
Makes: 10
Ingredients:
- 750g skinned and boned chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Jerk marinade:
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 green capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 small thumb ginger, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Method:
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until almost smooth.
- Place chicken in a shallow bowl and pour over the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
