Grilled yams, baby corn and squid with mango salsa

Method

 
1. Make the mango salsa first: mix the diced red onion with the lime zest, juice, the chopped chilli, sugar, and salt. Stir in the diced mango, 100ml olive oil and basil leaves. Decant into a large dish with raised sides and set aside.

2. Preheat a grill or barbecue.

3. Cut the squid tentacles into 4 and the bodies into triangles and score in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife. Dry very well, toss with a little oil and set aside.

4. Toss the yams with a little oil, salt and pepper and grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to the dish with the salsa.

5. Grill the baby corn for 3 minutes. Transfer to the salsa and toss together.

6. Heat the grill to very hot and grill the squid for 1 minute on each side and toss with the salsa.

7. To serve: place the steamed pak choi onto a large dish and spoon the squid, vegetables and salsa over the top.
