This recipe comes from the cookbook, “Eat Caribbean” by Jamaican, Virginia Burke. Jerk is a style of cooking developed by the “maroons” (run away slaves ) of Jamaica. There are very many versions of Jamaican Jerk Marinades. It can be used on on pork, chicken or fish. A blender or food processor can be used to make quick work of all the chopping.
This is really good-you can sub chicken for the pork if you like-and you can change the peppers if the heat is too much!
Family favourite from my mother-in-law. Good for a weeknight supper or for company. I use any kind of lean pork (loin, tenderloin etc.). Easy and delicious.
