This one is sooooo easy and cheap.
Pig cheeks are amazing beautiful bits of meat that are foolproof with the aid of a slow cooker. This recipe makes a jerk style sauce with the fruity scotch bonnet and sweet potato. Use a mild chilli or paprika as an alternative if you don’t want the heat. Chipotles in adobo would be another great option. In fact thats what im gonna try next time!
I have a small 1.5 litre slow cooker but double the ingrediants as required.
Ingredients
3 pig cheeks (defatted)
Finely diced white onion
garlic 2 cloves
1 diced sweet potato
1 scotch bonnet pepper sliced
bay leaf
S&P
Method
Put it all in ten slow cooker and top with about 1 pint water.

Thats it.
If its too soupy transfer to a pan and reduce down.
Serve as tacos with some shredded slaw or as here with spring onions, red cabbage kimchi, sriracha mayo and a chopped scotch bonnet pepper
