Cooking Tips
- Jerk seasoning is the go to blend for Caribbean cooking.
- For a marinade, follow the instructions on the side of the jar.
- Alternatively follow the same instructions but blend with half an onion & a scotch bonnet for a fresher taste. Only use part of the scotch bonnet if you don't like it too spicy.
- The classic Jamaican dish is of course jerk chicken but try jerk haloumi or jerk seasoned vegetables of the barbecue for a vegetarian alternative.
- Cauliflower or aubergine are good veggies to try this with.
- Use jerk seasoning in rice & peas as a classic Caribbean accompaniment.
- Add to Caribbean curry for authentic flavours.
