(Does anyone have the jerk chicken recipe made by David Rosengarten on the
show Taste?)
Jerk Chicken
Recipe courtesy of David Rosengarten
1 cup vegetable oil
2 small onions, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 green scotch bonnet peppers
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 tablespoons Meyer's rum
1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
2 whole chickens, each 3 to 4 pounds
4 tablespoons olive oil
Add marinade ingredients to food processor and puree until almost smooth.
Pierce the chicken with the tip of a knife to make many tiny holes. Rub
marinade into chicken and refrigerate 24 to 48 hours, depending on desired
intensity.
When ready to cook, prepare a slow and smoky charcoal fire. Remove chicken
from marinade. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan. Brush chicken with
oil and grill over low heat until done, about 30 minutes.
Yield: 8 servings
