DRY JERK RUB



Dry Jerk Rub image

This is a great Jamaican Rub recipe that is nice with poultry and pork. You can adjust the spicyness by increasing or decreasing the amount or type of crushed peppers. For a "not so hot" rub, use crushed red peppers. For a "really hot" rub, use dried scotch bonnet peppers.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon crushed dried hot pepper
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients together and mix well.
  • Coat Meat with mixture and rub well into meat.
  • Let sit for a couple of hours. The longer it sits the more flavours go through the meat.
  • Cook meat as desired.

Tips for Using Dry Jerk Spice Rub:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the flavor of your jerk seasoning. Use fresh herbs and spices, and choose a good quality paprika and allspice.
  • Toast the spices before grinding: Toasting the spices will bring out their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Grind the spices finely: The finer you grind the spices, the more evenly they will distribute throughout your dish. You can use a spice grinder, a coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle.
  • Use a generous amount of seasoning: Jerk seasoning is meant to be flavorful, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours: Marinating the meat will help the flavors of the jerk seasoning to penetrate deep into the meat. You can marinate the meat for up to 24 hours, but 2 hours is the minimum amount of time needed to get a good flavor.
  • Cook the meat over indirect heat: Jerk chicken is traditionally cooked over a charcoal grill, but you can also cook it in the oven or on a gas grill. If you are cooking the chicken on a grill, cook it over indirect heat so that it doesn't burn.

Conclusion:

Dry jerk spice rub is a versatile and flavorful seasoning that can be used on a variety of meats, vegetables, and even fruits. It is easy to make and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months. With its unique blend of spices and herbs, jerk seasoning is sure to add a delicious and exotic flavor to your next dish.
