Mango and cucumber chow recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
‘Chow is a street food snack that’s common in Trinidad,' says food writer Riaz Phillips. 'It’s a nice palate-cleansing "dessert" that isn't overly sweet. You could also add garlic and serve it as a side dish.'

Method
- Slice the cucumber lengthways and run a teaspoon down the core to remove the watery seeds; discard. Turn flat-side down, thinly slice and transfer to a bowl.
- Add all the other ingredients (except the lime wedges and crushed chillies), and gently mix with your hands. You can serve immediately, but for best results, refrigerate for at least 1 hr or up to 6 hrs. Scatter over the crushed chillies and serve with the lime wedges.
- Tip: This recipe uses Riaz Phillips' homemade jerk marinade.
