Jerk Marinade Recipe

HappyStack

Good for chicken, pork, tofu and all kinds of vegetables. Especially good with ribs cooked on the BBQ (you can add a bit of honey, extra to the sugar, to make them sticky).

1/2 a small onion,
a big handful of scallions or spring onions, whatever you like to call them,
1 chopped chilli or 1/2 tsp chilli flakes,
2 big garlic cloves,
thumb-sized piece of ginger root,
1 tsp dried thyme,
1 tbsp ground allspice,
1 tbsp soft, dark brown sugar,
1 tbsp chipotle chilli paste,
juice of 1 lime,
2 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce,
a good crack of black pepper.



Blend it all up together, taste, and it should be slightly sweet, salty, smoky & fiery.
