Yield etc unit

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

8 Green onions finley chopped (can be charred if desired).
4-6 Habanero/Scotch Bonnets - 8-10 is better. (Red Savina Habaneros are my favorite for their floral scent and heat).
2T peanut oil - experiment with other oils if desired.
3 garlic cloves
1C brown sugar - I rarely use more than 1/2.
2T smoked paprika
2t fresh thyme
2t fresh basil
2t ground ginger - I use fresh.
2t ground coriander
1t chili powder
1/2 t each allspice, cinnamon, ground cloves, cumin, nutmeg, ground black pepper
1t salt
1/2 t lime juice
2T Worchestershire sauce/A-1 sauce or tamarind paste. (this is mainly for the tamarind tang).

Steps:

Chop everything that needs chopping. Combine everything in a blender or mortar and pestle and make a paste. Use as a marinade on chicken, pork, beef, venison, elk, fish, seafood. I've tried this with all of the above as well as mixed into hamburgers. It's great. Just don't know where I got it.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
If you don't have scotch bonnet peppers, you can use habanero peppers or cayenne pepper instead.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
Serve the jerk chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice and peas, coleslaw, or fried plantains.
You can also use the wet jerk rub on other meats, such as pork, lamb, or fish.
