mate Levi Roots king of the Caribbean to show me off his jerk
Sun is out the beer is flowing we got jerk chicken yes
first thing we got we’re going to have the key ingredient in Jack first which
is this all spice or pimento
Thats the jamiacan name, pimento or Jamaican pepper and this is the key
for all jerk
if it’s not in jerk then really you can’t call it jerk. And you can buy this in the supermarket?
You can buy in supermarket, you can more likely get in the powdered version of this is
the proper version if you can you like to pound up your own? I love to pound up my own
with pestle and mortar
And garlic is what, everybody loves a bit of garlic
And the next thing here, ya man, give me one of these man. The scotch bonnet
Lord have mercy. It’s the best chili in the whole wide world
Quite a bit of heat. yes and you’re going to be careful that you don’t start stratching around with
the Scotch bonnet. And I’ll de-bling yes
The Bling ball. No I can’t market this. Now this ain’t like cooking with Delia is it?
Do you know what I mean, we’ve got Levi Roots in the house
Outdoor cooking is something that all Caribbean people love. And would you say
that most of you are cooking over charcoal or wood. Traditionally the wood
is what determines the flavor of the jerk and then the wood of the pimento cheese
used to flavor. Oh my lord. the meat. Or you could use Hickory wood whatever you could
find that would actually give it a flavor
Look at my board I mean look at the colors they’re so beautiful
it’s the put it in a bun in there yeah mash it up
ok let me bang on some of this on there in and and you can massage it in
yes just rub it up. I will do my best. and getting it in there
And my hands are starting to burn
That’s the scotch bonnet baby!
So I’m marinating, whats the score?
Well you can leave it for an hour,
you can leave it two hours three hours best overnight if you can get to do that then you know
you’re really cooking because those flavors are going to really represent
skin side down first?
Side down first yes, so you can get that oil going
this is looking good look at that
come on, yeah nice proper. Hey five brother
Respect. Honestly mate
that’s a beautiful thing really
Shall we have a little eat up?
oh mate
