JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN



Jamaican Jerk Pork Loin image

This is a compilation of several recipes for "Jerk Pork" that I've tried. I don't claim that it has any Jamaican authenticity at all, but we really like it. It's important to find a pork loin (not the tenderloin) that has a nice fat layer on top... it really keeps the moisture in and makes for a very nice presentation when it's browned and crisp. I made this for my mother's friend birthday party, for a crew of very discriminating palates and they went nuts. Prior to that, I didn't have a written recipe for this, but I had demands for the recipe so I had to measure as I re-created it! I hope you enjoy.

JERK PORK CHOPS WITH MANGO SALSA



Jerk Pork Chops With Mango Salsa image

Many years ago, I saw a couple of old Food Network shows where jerk chicken was made and accompanied by various fruits. I took notes and created this meal after several attempts to get it to fit my taste. It is funny to look back to my original recipe, as I actually used Vegetable Oil because I was too cheap to buy Olive Oil. I think we can all conclude that the Olive Oil tastes much better :)

AMAZING JERK PORK TENDERLOIN



Amazing Jerk Pork Tenderloin image

This is one of the very best recipes for jerk pork tenderloin, and will work just as well using a pork loin roast. If you are afraid of the extreme heat just use 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and finely chopped in place of the habanero pepper, or use the Scotch Bonnet peppers, my family loves extreme heat so I use 5 habaneros lol, please adjust the heat to suit your taste! Plan ahead the pork needs to marinate for 24 hours. This recipe is for one 1-1/2-pound pork tenderloin, you can double the recipe, but make two separate bowls of marinade and marinade each tenderloin in a separate bag. Scotch bonnet peppers can be used also in place of the habanero peppers. For the habanero pepper use 1 for a mildly spicy flavor and 4 for very spicy, if you are using the Scotch Bonnet peppers you would use 10-12 to give you the proper heat of an authentic Jerk marinade, although it is not necessary to "butterfly" the pork, but it will increase the marinade to penetrate the flavors better. Try to use only kosher salt for this. If you love Jerk, you will LOVE this!

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH JERK SEASONING (GLUTEN-FREE)



Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Jerk Seasoning (Gluten-Free) image

From Delight Gluten Free Magazine, Summer 2009. Posted for ZWT5, Caribbean region. Prep/cook time does not include marinating time (6-8 hours), so plan in advance.

Provided by NELady

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 1 tenderloin, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Start with a well trimmed tenderloin making sure to remove any of the "silver" skin from the surface. The silver skin is a shiny membrane you typically find on tenderloins. Once you've trimmed the ternderloin you're ready to prepare your jerk rub.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the thyme, dried onion, allspice, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Coat tenderloin lightly with oil and rub seasoning onto meat. Set aside to marinate (wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours).
  • Prepare grill for direct heat grilling over high heat. Once grill is hot place marinated pork onto the hottest part of the grill and cook the tenderloin for about 3 minutes on each of its four sides. Cook just until the pork feels firm and springs back when pressed or an instant-read thermometer reads 145*F when inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Be careful not to overcook it.
  • Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slice in about 3/4" slices and serve.

1/2 cup brown sugar
12 sprigs fresh thyme
10 allspice berries
10 black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
4 inches fresh ginger, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 head garlic, sliced in half
1 Spanish onion, quartered
One 3-pound center-cut rack of pork, chine bone removed
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon habanero powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Canola oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • For the brine and pork: Bring 12 cups water, the salt, brown sugar, thyme, allspice, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, ginger, bay leaves, garlic and onions to a simmer in a large stockpot and cook until the sugar and salt is dissolved. Let cool completely.
  • Submerge the pork in the brine by placing a plate on top, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Remove the pork from the brine, rinse well with cold water and pat dry. Place on a rack set over a baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • For the spice mixture: Combine the coriander, ginger, brown sugar, garlic powder, habanero powder, onion powder, black pepper, thyme, allspice, cinnamon and cloves in a small bowl. Brush the pork rack with the canola oil and rub with the spice mixture.
  • Prepare the ceramic cooker: Add the hot charcoal to the cooker, and put on the grill rack. When the grill rack is hot, put on the pork fat-side down and cook until slightly charred. Now remove the pork and the grill rack, scatter the soaked wood chips over the hot charcoal, put on the ceramic plate and the grill rack and return the pork to the grill rack seared-side up. Close the cooker and adjust it to maintain a temperature of 325 degrees F. Cook the pork until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F, 75 to 90 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before carving into chops.

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives jerk pork its distinctive flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is packed with spices and herbs, such as allspice, thyme, and scotch bonnet peppers. You can also add some citrus juice, such as orange or lime, to brighten the flavor.
  • Cook the pork over low heat: Jerk pork is traditionally cooked over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and the meat to become tender and juicy.
  • Serve the pork with traditional sides: Jerk pork is often served with traditional Jamaican sides, such as rice and peas, steamed vegetables, and fried plantains. You can also serve it with a spicy sauce, such as a scotch bonnet pepper sauce.

Conclusion:

Jerk pork is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its unique blend of spices and herbs, it is sure to please even the most discerning palate. Whether you are cooking it for a backyard barbecue or a special event, jerk pork is sure to be a hit.
