Jerkpork Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker insert. Add the Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking sauce, vinegar, onions and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
• Remove the pork from the slow cooker and strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and then lower to a simmer and cook until reduced by about half.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork with a fork. Add the reduced cooking liquid to the shredded pork and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the pulled pork on potato rolls with coleslaw, mango chutney and sweet potato chips on the side.

Steps:

• In bowl, combine oil, garlic, chili pepper, thyme, paprika, allspice, pepper, cumin, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add pork, turning to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.).
• Place pork on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning twice, for about 18 minutes or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside.
• Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes.
• Cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices.

Steps:

• Combine jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake about 1 tablespoon jerk rub into the skillet. Add onions; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining jerk rub onto one side of each pork chop. Use a knife to poke 4 or 5 holes in each chop and pour 1/2 of the lime juice over top. Place chops, seasoned-side down, into the hot skillet.
• Cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. While cooking, sprinkle remaining jerk rub onto the top side of the chops. Poke holes as before, and pour remaining lime juice over top. Flip chops and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, another 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Make marinade:
• Pur&ée marinade ingredients in a small food processor or a blender and transfer to a sealable plastic bag.
• Marinate pork, then grill:
• Put pork in bag, turning to coat, and seal bag. Marinate pork, chilled, turning occasionally, 8 hours. Brush a well-seasoned cast-iron ridged grill pan lightly with some oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Grill pork, seasoned with salt, in batches over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 9 minutes on each side. (Discard any remaining marinade in bag.) Transfer pork to a plate to cool slightly. With your fingers, shred warm pork into a bowl and toss with oil, scallion, and salt to taste. Keep warm, covered.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peppers, scallions, onion, garlic, oil, rum, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Process until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Place the roast on a nonreactive plate and, using a spatula, coat with the jerk sauce. (Avoid touching the paste with your hands; the oil from the peppers can burn.) Cover and marinate overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pork in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue roasting until the pork is just barely pink at the center when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and allow to set, covered, for 15 minutes. Slice thinly and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the first 7 ingredients.
• Mix thoroughly.
• In a food processor combine green onions and garlic, peppers, onion, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, malt vinegar and ginger.
• Blend until very smooth.
• Place pork in a glass bowl or large freezer bag, combine all ingredients and coat pork well.
• Cover and stir or flip often.
• Marinate for at least 8 hours.
• Take out of the fridge 1 hour before grilling.
• Preheat grill to medium high, skewer pork, 4 cubes to a skewer.
• Cook for 6-8 minutes on one side, flip and 6-8 minutes on the other.

Steps:

• Combine water, lemon juice, onion, brown sugar, green onions, oil, salt, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting.
• Place pork chops in shallow glass dish. Pour remaining marinade over the meat. Cover, and refrigerate at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat. Place grate 4 to 5 inches above heat source.
• Oil the grill grate. Arrange chops on grate, and discard marinade. Cover grill, and cook chops for 10 minutes, turning once, or to desired doneness.
