This recipe really does tick all the boxes!

I thoroughly enjoy making dishes with Caribbean flavours! It makes your dish so vibrant both in colour and flavour. Tofu is a great vessel for your jerk flavourings as it really absorbs the spices well.

I decided to pair the flavoursome tofu with some coconut coleslaw. This works so well as the deep spicy tofu compliments perfectly with the coconut in the crunchy coleslaw.

This then was with some soft sweet potato mash. I love sweet potato mash, it really has a great taste and due to its texture you dont really need to mash it with anything.

Finally i served this dish with some plantain chips. They are GREAT! Similar to a potato chip, however the texture is thicker and the taste more sweet, which again goes so well with the deeeeeeep rice flavours that come from the tofu.

All in all these combinations are spot on, and I hope you enjoy the dish as much as I did.
