Who you callin’ a Jerk?
Jerk seasoning is one of those slept on things that numerous people are scared of because they think it must be insanely hot or spicy. Truth be told the flavors that combined to make Jerk Seasoning are commonly found spices that most of have in our pantries, we just never thought to combined them in this fashion.
Allspice (or Pimento as its called in Jamaica,) Scotch Bonnet Peppers, Cloves, Cinnamon, Scallions, Nutmeg, Thyme, Garlic, Salt and Pepper weave together to create a sensation that both your nostrils, mouth and stomach will not soon forget. Truly aromatic and pleasing in its smell this flavor lends itself well to pork, chicken, shrimp, beef, turkey, shellfish, fish and most amazingly Tofu.
Using the Jerk Seasoning in this case with the ground turkey creates a deep set of earthy flavors that go well with a side or macaroni salad or a plate of fresh sliced fruits drizzled in a little honey or Chile & Lime Salt.
Enjoy this recipe with a cold Red Stripe Beer, Rum & Coke or Sweet Tea.
