Who’s missing having takeaways? This recipe is incredible simple and tastes even better than your local takeaway dish!
I love the simplicity of this dish, theres really no need for fancy ingredients to achieve amazing flavour. I was actually shocked dhoe good this dish turned out.
I think I mentioned in my Jambalaya recipe that I’ve been using frozen vegetables recently and I’ve done the same in this recipe. I used frozen diced onion and frozen mixed peppers. It makes this dish incredible easy and would highly recommend using frozen prepared vegetables.

- Add the pineapple chunks, the ketchup, sweet chilli sauce and white wine vinegar and stir to combine. If you like it a little more saucier, add more sweet chilli and ketchup in even amounts. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce is hot.
