Description
Jerk is a Jamaican method of marinating and smoking meat over pimento (allspice) wood. The marinade is a fiery paste of Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice berries, thyme, scallions, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. The smoking over pimento wood adds a layer of aromatic complexity that cannot be replicated with any other fuel. Authentic jerk is cooked in oil drum smokers over pimento wood and charcoal — low and slow with periodic basting.
