--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  10      whole         scotch bonnet -- (or habanero) chile
                        -- peppers, seeded
                        OR -- (substitute 15 of
                        -- your favorite fresh
                        chile peppers or 1/4 cup caribbean hot
                        sauce)
   2      tablespoons   dried rosemary
   2      tablespoons   parsley -- chopped
   2      tablespoons   dried basil
   2      tablespoons   dried thyme
   2      tablespoons   mustard seed
   3      whole         scallions -- chopped fine
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      black pepper
   2                    limes -- juice of
     1/4  cup           cheap yellow mustard
   2      tablespoons   orange juice
   2      tablespoons   white vinegar

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender, and blend them
into a paste, making sure that all the ingredients are fully
integrated.  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.

Jerked meat is one of the Caribbean's most famous spicy dishes. 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.)
