Answer 2

JAMAICAN JERK MARINADE

1/4 cup whole allspice
3 habanero chiles, seeded and chopped
10 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 bayleaves, crushed
1 3-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup fresh thyme
1 teaspoon freshly-ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly-ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lime juice

Roast the allspice in a dry skillet until they are aromatic, about
2 minutes. Remove and crush them to a powder in a mortar or spice
mill. Add the powder and the remaining ingredients to a food
processor and blend to make a paste or sauce. Remove and store in
a jar in the refrigerator; it will keep for a month or more.

Note: In Jamaica, allspice is called pimento. So, if you see pimento
in a Caribbean recipe, don't reach for the sweet red peppers.



Jerk Seasoning Mix

1 Tablespoon Onion flakes
2 Teaspoons Ground thyme
1 Teaspoon Ground allspice
1/4 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper, Table Grind
1 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper

2 Teaspoons Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Ground nutmeg
2 Teaspoons Sugar
2 Teaspoons Chives, Freeze-Dried


Mix together all the ingredients.

Store leftovers in a tightly closed glass jar.
It will keep its pungency for over a month.


Notes: This seasoning mix is excellent to have on hand to sprinkle on cooked or uncooked fish, vegetables, or snacks.

To increase the heat, add more cayenne.

Answer 3

The best recipe for jerk comes already premade. It's made by a company called Nantucket Offshore. The products name is Rasta Rub. The taste is EXACTLY like good jerk that I had while actually in Jamaica. Most gourmet stores carry this product as well as many supermarkets.

Also, thousands of internet sites sell this stuff by mailorder. Simply plug "Rasta Rub" into any search engine.

Answer 4

The best thing is to buy the Walkerswood Jamaican jerk rub and sauce. Look it up on the net. Its the #1. I live in LA and all of the jamaicans and islanders eat that brand the best. Look for it in your grocers market but look for any small mom and pop carribean or african market.
