    Of course something was wrong with the grill and it would not turn on (any US suggestions for a replacement?) So I ended up using the broiler. It tasted fantastic and I served it with lime plantain chips.

    👉 I have celiac disease so I have to eat gluten-free. This whole meal is gluten and dairy-free if that matters to you.

    I converted the recipes to weights for slaw and rice.

    ## 💗 Spicy slaw:

    In a mini blender, combine the following to make a dressing:

    • 28 g tablespoons Dijon mustard

    • 50 g brown sugar

    • 25 g jalapenos pepper minced

    • 39 g freshly squeezed lemon juice

    • 7 g minced garlic

    • 7 g Caribbean hot sauce (I used México Lindo brand Salsa de chile habanero rojo sauce.)

    • 28 g extra-virgin olive oil (I used Olivas de Oro mission blend olive oil.)

    To a bowl add:

    • 550 g cored and shredded mix of Napa, green and red cabbage.

    • 148 g ripe mango peeled, sliced or Julienne (I defrosted some frozen mango because it’s not in season.)

    • 137g shredded carrots

    • 15 g minced flat parsley leaves

    • White pepper, to taste (black pepper is not a substitute and doesn’t taste the same)

    • 15 g diced scallions, for garnish.

    Toss the vegetables with the dressing and serve.

    ## 💗 Coconut Rice

    (I need to tweak this as it didn’t have enough coconut flavor for me.)

    To a pot on medium heat combine and bring to a boil:

    • 474 ml Coconut milk (fresh or canned, full fat)

    • 6 g Salt

    • 14 g Butter or coconut oil

    Add:

    • 278 g long grain rice, washed

    • 1 hot pepper (whole scotch bonnet or habanero)

    • 1 scallion

    Turn down heat to low, cover with lid and cook for 25 minutes until fluffy.
