Jamaican Jerk Recipe


Jamaican Jerk Recipe
A spicy jerk marinade for chicken or burgers. Jerk seasoning is delicious on chicken, baked or grilled or even for other meats. Be sure to use protection on your hands when working with the peppers.

Ingredients
  • ¼ Cup malt vinegar (or white)
  • 1 Tbsp dark rum (optional)
  • 1 large Scotch bonnet or habanero chili pepper, seeds removed, minced (use two if you like it really spicy.)
  • 5 chopped green onion, including greens
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 6 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3-4 Tbsp fresh thyme (half that amount if using dried)
  • 1 ½ Tbsp ground allspice
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ Tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons coarse ground pepper

Directions
  1. Warning: When working with these hot peppers, use protective covering on hands. This is a must.
  2. In a food processor, put the vinegar, chili, green onion, garlic, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, molasses, salt and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped. If you do not have a food processor, finely mince the pepper, garlic, and green onion and combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Spread all over chicken and place in a plastic bag to marinate.
  4. Mix with ground beef for jerk burgers.
  5. Leftover marinade may be boiled, if exposed to meat, and used to pour over hot chicken or burgers or for dipping.
