FRUITY CARIBBEAN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and brown well on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Add the onions and peppers to the pan, and cook for 5 mins until the veg starts to soften.

Season and simmer, uncovered, for 40 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened a little.
• Add the beans and pepper sauce to the pan. Simmer for another 2-3 mins until the beans are warmed through, then scatter with coriander and serve with cooked rice.
