Jamaican Jerk Marinade

Best marinade I’ve ever had. Great for chicken, beef, fish… vegetables? Great for grilling, baking, pan fry maybe?… just straight drinking it?

Ingredients

  • 1/3 c. light oil
  • 1/4 c. fresh lime juice (about 1 juicy lime)
  • 1/4 c. soy sauce
  • 4-5 green onions chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbsp garlic
  • 2 Tbsp ginger
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 scotch bonnet or habanero pepper *
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp all spice
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Throw all the stuff in a good blender or food processor and run it until it’s a jerk marinade.
  2. Marinade whatever for 4-12 hours? Since its not very acidic maybe you could go longer, I don’t know.

* Notes

If you don’t want it too hot, remove the seeds and ribs from the pepper. If you cant handle any heat remove the pepper all together.
