The paste should be approximately the consistency of a thick tomato sauce. If it is too thick, thin it out with a little more white vinegar. Cover the paste and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for the flavors to blend together. Overnight is the ideal amount of time to give them to get acquainted. (Note that if you want to avoid making a fresh batch every time you make this dish, you can multiply the amount of paste easily. Don't worry about it going bad, since it keeps almost infinitely.) Rub paste on meat and grill. Busted by Christopher E.

There are a few tendencies which give Jamaican food its characteristic flavor, but one of the main things is the preponderance of the allspice berry among the spices used as a paste-type marinade. Cut away rind and most fat from pork; remove all meat from bones, cut into pieces about 1-1/2" thick and 3" to 4" long. Put pork pieces and chicken in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed. To prepare seasoning, heat the allspice berries over medium heat in small saucepan 3 to 4 min, stirring often; 2 tbs at a time, crush berries in mortar and pestle. In medium bowl, combine berries, nutmeg, cinnamon, scallions, garlic, pepper and 1 tbs vinegar; crush into pasty mixture. Add rest of vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Turn mixture over pork and chicken and rub meat with seasoning, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Cook jerked pork and chicken on grill over hot coals or on gas barbecue as far from heat as possible (6" or more); cover with lid; turn meat every 10 minutes for about 1 hour, until done. If desired, halfway through cooking time toss 1 tsp whole allspice berries into fire. Cut cooked pork into 1/3" slices and serve with chicken. Accompany with Pickapeppa sauce. Serves 6 to 8. (Note: Can also be cooked in preheated 350 F oven on rack in roasting pan about 1 hour, turning once, but you won't have the grill flavor. (Pickapeppa sauce is a bottled Jamaican condiment available in better supermarkets and gourmet stores.) http://neptune.netimages.com/~chile/recipes.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------* * Chet Bacon KA1ILH | Okay, who put a * * PO Box 284 | "stop payment" on my * * Southington, CT 06489 | reality check? * * E-Mail: | Homepage: * * hcbacon@connix.com | http://www.connix.com/~hcbacon * * cbacon@connix.com(work) | http://www.connix.com/~cbacon (work) * *-----------------------------------------------------------------* * Adopt a Doberman Help end puppy mills! www.dru.org * *-----------------------------------------------------------------*
