Jamaican Dry Jerk Seasoning 1 Tablespoon onion flakes 1 Tablespoon onion powder 2 teaspoons ground thyme 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground pimento ( allspice ) 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon course ground pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 teaspoons dried chives or green onions Mix all dry ingredients together and sprinkle on food of choice. This dry jerk seasoning is easily made from spices readily available at the local supermarket. If real Jamaican allspice is available it adds original flavor. While not as strong in flavor as rubs or marinades the dry seasoning is convenient to sprinkle of fish, chicken, pork, or vegetables. If a spicier flavor is desired add more cayenne pepper to desired heat level. Kept in an air tight container this mixture will keep for several weeks before losing it's flavor. Jerk Marinade 1 medium onion finely chopped 1 hot pepper finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped scallion or green onion 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon Ground Jamaican pimento (allspice) 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cooking oil 1 teaspoon cider vinegar 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 2 teaspoons sugar 3 teaspoons soy sauce Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor. This marinade will store in refrigerator for about 30 days. This Jerk marinade is easy to use on chicken, pork, or fish. With only 1 hot pepper this is a mild version appealing to most people. If you like your Jerk a little more kicked up, add more hot peppers to suit.
