• Jerk Chicken
• Combine all marinade ingredients in your food processor and purée.
  
• In a dish with a cover or a Ziplock bag, pour the marinade over the chicken and stir to ensure that the marinade is distributed evenly. Place the chicken in the refrigerator, and let marinate for 2-24 hours. You can prepare the remaining elements while the chicken marinates. 

  Once the chicken is ready to cook, simply discard the marinade and cook over a hot grill (or on your stovetop) until fully cooked.
  

Mango-Pineapple Slaw

• • 1 fresh mango, diced
  • ½ fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 sweet red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 habanero or Scotchbonnet pepper, sliced thinly, stem and seeds discarded (use gloves when handling!)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, and stir to combine.

  I use much less mayonnaise than in most coleslaw recipes—I prefer to keep this slaw light and fresh. You can increase the amount of mayonnaise to suit your taste. 
  

Grilled Pineapple-Jalapeño Salsa

• • ½ red onion
  • ½ fresh pineapple
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ¼ cup (12g) chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín (or substitute a mix of kosher salt and chile powder)
• Grill the red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño until blackened in spots, and set aside until cool enough to handle. 
  
• Dice the red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño (you can include the seeds for a spicer salsa, or discard them) and add to a medium bowl. Add the lime, cilantro, and Tajín, and stir to combine. 

  Taste your salsa—you can stir in some honey, hot honey, or a little brown sugar if you want to add sweetness; more Tajín for spice, and more lime juice for acidity. 
  

Avocado Crema

• • 1 large ripe avocado (or 2-3 small avocados)
  • ¼ cup (60g) crema or sour cream
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chile powder
  • Generous pinch kosher salt
• Combine the ingredients in a small bowl attachment of a food processor, and process until smooth. (You can also combine in a molcajete or mash with a fork). Taste and correct seasoning, adding more lime or salt as needed.
