So thanks to > Mark for the inspiration and hope someone can send me the original recipe > soon! I'm afraid I never follow a recipe, none of the batches I have made have come out the same. They are essentially a base of Newmans Own Caesar dressing mixed with a commercial jerk paste and some habanero hot sauce. Recently I changed it again and used pureed chipotles in adobo in place of the jerk paste. Came out really good. Portos are so forgiving that any flavor marinade you want to work with seems to work out well. =Mark @ http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens @ Life is a Cabernet
