Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x baking tray lined with baking paper
- 1x large saucepan
Time to roast
- Heat your oven to 230ºC/fan 210ºC/gas 8.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and scatter over a pinch of the jerk seasoning.
- Add the chicken to the tray and scatter over half the remaining jerk seasoning.
- Spritz everything with cooking spray and roast for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the wedges are soft.
Start the veg
- Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the onions. Finely chop the thyme leaves.
- Spritz a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions, tomatoes and thyme for 4-5 mins until softened.
Cook your ‘callalooʼ
- At the same time, gather the spinach into a tight bunch and chop. Discard the woody stalks from the middle of the kale, then chop the leaves.
- Add the spinach, kale and garlic paste to the onions. Crumble in the stock cube and pour in 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions).
- Simmer for 4-5 mins, until the greens are completely wilted and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Dish up
- Serve the chicken and wedges with the callaloo.
