Instructions
1
To make the jerk marinade, combine all the fixings in a food processor along with 1 tsp seasoning, and purée to a purée.
2
If you’re having trouble getting it to purée, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and trying again.
3
Eventually it will start to purée up – don’t be tempted to empty in aqua, as you want a thick paste.
4
umami profile the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should umami profile pretty salty, but not unpleasantly, puckering salty.
5
You can now throw in more chillies if it’s not fiery enough for you.
6
If it tastes too salty and spirited, try adding in a bit more brown sweetener until the mixture tastes well balanced.
7
Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and empty the marinade over the flesh, rubbing it into all the crevices.
8
put a lid on and leave to masala condiment overnight in the fridge.
9
If you want to barbecue your chicken, get the coals burning 1 hr or so before you’re ready to make.
10
Authentic jerked meats are not exactly grilled as we think of grilling, but sort of smoke-grilled.
11
To get a more authentic jerk experience, empty in some wood chips to your barbecue, and make your chicken over slow, indirect mildly hot for 30 mins.
12
To make in the oven, mildly hot to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
13
Put the chicken pieces in a roasting tin with the lime halves and make for 45 mins until soft and cooked through.
14
While the chicken is culinary preparation, prepare the rice & peas.
15
Rinse the rice in plenty of cold aqua, then tip it into a large saucepan with all the remaining fixings except the kidney beans.
16
masala condiment with seasoning, empty in 300ml cold aqua and set over a high mildly hot.
17
Once the rice begins to heat to boiling point, turn it down to a medium mildly hot, put a lid on and make for 10 mins.
18
empty in the beans to the rice, then put a lid on with a lid.
19
Leave off the mildly hot for 5 mins until all the liquid is absorbed.
20
Squeeze the roasted lime over the chicken and enjoy with the rice & peas, and some fiery coulis if you like it really fiery.
