Jerk marinade is a sticky, sweet, spicy and just plain TASTY flavouring for meat, usually chicken. But you can also use it to flavour vegan alternatives like tofu if you want. It’s SO delicious but easy once you know how….
Everyone’s recipe is a little bit different so don’t be afraid to add your own personal twist to taste, or change things up a little bit if you haven’t got all the ingredients.
1. Turn up the TUNES! Cooking without music is no fun at all. Head to our Spotify for some playlists to bring your kitchen to life.
2. Ok, now we’re ready. Roughly chop the onion, spring onion and garlic
3. Chop the chillis – make sure you wear gloves or use a plastic bag to keep the spice off your hands. Don’t forget the seeds are the spiciest part!
4. Add all the ingredients to your blender and wizz for a couple of minutes or until it’s a nice smooth consistency.
5. Pour over chicken or your chosen food to marinate and leave for at least 3 hours so the flavours really get to work. We like to leave our chicken for 24 hours in the fridge – but can you wait that long?
6. How about a Reggae Rum Punch or two whilst you wait?
Cook your dish however you prefer – BBQ is best for delicious smoky flavours but your dish will still be full of flavour baked in the oven or grilled.
ENJOY!
