Notes
What is Jerk?
Jerk is defined both as a spice blend and a style of cooking, hailing from Jamaica, with its roots in Africa. Pork and chicken are the two most commonly “jerked” meats, but now jerk seasoning and cooking methods are applied to everything from tofu to beef. Allspice (native to Jamaica) and hot peppers are the two most integral ingredients to a jerk marinade, which can be either dry or wet.
