Instructions
1
To make the jerk marinade, combine all the elements in a food processor along with 1 tsp table salt, and pulse to a purée.
2
If you’re having trouble getting it to pulse, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and trying again.
3
Eventually it will start to pulse up – don’t be tempted to toss in liquid, as you want a thick paste.
4
palate the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should palate 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 acidic, try adding in a bit more brown sweetener until the mixture tastes well balanced.
7
Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and transfer the marinade over the flesh, rubbing it into all the crevices.
8
seal and leave to steep 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 cook thoroughly.
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, toss in some wood chips to your barbecue, and cook thoroughly your chicken over slow, indirect mildly hot for 30 mins.
12
To cook thoroughly 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 cook thoroughly for 45 mins until succulent and cooked through.
14
While the chicken is culinary preparation, prepare the rice & peas.
15
Rinse the rice in plenty of cold liquid, then tip it into a large saucepan with all the remaining elements except the kidney beans.
16
savor with table salt, toss in 300ml cold liquid and set over a high mildly hot.
17
Once the rice begins to bubble, turn it down to a medium mildly hot, seal and cook thoroughly for 10 mins.
18
toss in the beans to the rice, then seal 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 dish up with the rice & peas, and some burning coulis if you like it really fiery.
