Make your own jerk seasoning to use as a marinade for chicken. Scotch bonnet peppers and spices bring heat and plenty of flavour

Jamaican jerk chicken

chicken thighs

chicken legs

2-3 tsp crushed/powered allspice(pimento)

salt

spring onions,trimmed

white onion

Scotch bonnet peppers

garlic

thyme leaves

lime juice

milliliters vinegar

½ tsp mixed spice

dark sugar

Whizz all the ingredients for the marinade in a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-blenders">blender</a> to form a thick paste. It shouldn't be too runny, similar to the consistency of sweet chilli sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.

Slit the chicken skin with a sharp knife, then put into a container. Pour over the jerk marinade, making sure the chicken is completely covered. You may not need all the marinade. Cover the chicken and place in the fridge for at least 4 hrs, but ideally 24 hrs.

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and cook for 30-45 mins. Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the dish, then cook for a further 10 mins. The skin should start to crisp up. Check the meat is cooked by cutting into the deepest part of the chicken. If the juices run out red, return to the oven for 10 mins more, or until the juices run clear. Serve with rice &amp; peas or any of your favourite side dishes.

Comforting and spicy in just the right way, Rasta pasta is popular in Jamaican communities across New York and beyond. This version gets its spice from jerk seasoning and a single Scotch bonnet. The bell peppers and green onions add not only texture, but a sweet crunch and brightness. You could swap salmon or shrimp for the chicken, or use fettuccine or rigatoni instead of the penne, if you like; just mind the cooking time. You could even halve the heavy cream, or substitute coconut milk for more depth of flavor. Feel free to refrigerate any leftovers, and either reheat or eat them cold the next day. This is a dish that gets better with a little time.

Rasta Pasta With Jerk Chicken

olive oil

garlic powder

smoked paprika

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Kosher salt

penne pasta

bell

green onions, sliced,

garlic cloves,

thyme

Scotch bonnet pepper, pierced, not sliced (optional)

heavy cream

stock

Parmesan

Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine jerk seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Pull chicken out about 1 hour before cooking, so it comes to room temperature.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the chicken to the skillet, and sear chicken on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side.

Once chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 10 minutes, and slice on a bias.

As chicken roasts, prepare the pasta: Set a pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta, and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons oil to a heavy pot set over medium, and sauté bell peppers with green onions until peppers are barely softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until it’s fragrant, about another minute.

Add the 1/4 cup jerk seasoning to the pot and combine. Add the thyme and pierced pepper. Add heavy cream and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Mix in the Parmesan, then add pasta.

Top with the jerk chicken, and garnish with green onions. Serve hot.

Broiling is one of the quickest ways to cook salmon, and retain its moisture. It heats the outside while keeping the inside tender. When making this jerk salmon, your house may smell like a charcoal grill in the Caribbean. Don't worry if the fish darkens considerably as it cooks; that’s when you know it’s almost done. Finish it off with a <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021305-mango-slaw">mango slaw</a> or <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021342-classic-carrot-salad">classic carrot salad</a> to make your dinner look as vivid as it tastes.

Sheet-Pan Jerk Salmon

Nonstick cooking spray (optional)

(6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets,

jerk seasoning paste (hot

paprika

Kosher salt (optional)

parsley,

mango slaw carrot

Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and set the broiler to high. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil or lightly coat with cooking spray.

Place salmon on a cutting board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife, cut through the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through to the flesh.

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, jerk seasoning, paprika and salt, if using. (The jerk seasoning has plenty of salt, so taste before adding salt.) Place salmon portions in the mixture and coat evenly, ensuring the mixture gets into the scored flesh.

Place on the sheet pan, skin-side up, and broil until the skin is crispy and flesh is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. The exterior will darken considerably, but don’t be alarmed. The high heat will help keep the inside moist. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with mango slaw or carrot salad.

With this much flavour, you'll be surprised at how few ingredients this simple curry contains

Jerk chicken curry with beans

chicken drumsticks

tsp jerk seasoning (we used Schwartz)

red onions

coriander

tomatoes

kidney bean

Toss chicken in 1 tsp jerk seasoning and a little salt and pepper. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, quickly brown the chicken, then remove. Tip in the remaining oil, onions and coriander stalks, then soften for 5 mins, stirring in the remaining jerk seasoning for the final min.

Return the drumsticks to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. Cover, then cook for 20 mins. Remove the lid, stir in the beans, then cook for 10 mins more. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice.

In this recipe, the dried lentils absorb the jerk spices and flavors for a seriously delicious dish. Full of Caribbean attitude and vegan sensibilities, you&#039;re going to love the taste and aroma of my jerk-style lentils.

Jerk-Style Lentils

(8 oz) red onion (sliced)

Thumb-sized (about 1 tablespoon) piece of fresh ginger (grated)

maple syrup

tomato purée

garlic (finely sliced)

large (2 1/4 lbs) tomatoes (quartered)

lentils

store-bought vegetable broth or homemade vegetable stock

Scotch bonnet chile (seeded)

fresh cilantro (chopped)

Sauté

In a deep skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir

Stir in ginger, jerk seasoning, maple syrup, tomato purée, and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes, lentils, vegetable stock, chile, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the lentils have softened, 35 to 45 minutes.

Serve

Sprinkle cilantro and scallions on top and serve. The lentils will keep in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

I just made this and I did not measure the jerk seasoning. I just seasoned the chicken with my jerk seasoning to my liking then I seasoned the veggies with my favorite seasoning (so it wouldn't be to sweet or spicy). I needed a bit more milk/cream to give me a sauce but it was delicious and I would make it again!

My daughter loved this!! I was skeptical after reading the reviews. I followed this whole thing to a tee. I just added a cup of heavy cream. 1 cup of Parm. Added my own seasonings, garlic powder, Adobe, black pepper, onion powder and plenty of jerk seasoning (Caribbean’s Tradition) brand which isn’t so overly spicy. And a half box of noodles. As stated you won’t have enough sauce to cover noodles if you use a whole box. The amount of cream you use will play the part in that! But it was delicious! A most try regardless of it authenticity. Thank you for sharing this.

Looks like a yummy recipe but I think Rasta Pasta should be vegan with coconut milk instead of dairy products.

Beginner here and it came out awesome! Used Jamaican jerk seasoning didn’t realize I grabbed that from supermarket lol. Either way it came out great and most importantly my wife thought so too and expects me to keep cooking. Yeah right. Made this as our anniversary dinner

Well let me tell you, I am SHOCKED that the comments are full of ignorance and trashy ghettoness. Shocked. 
Hmm... I really wonder why this is. What is different with this recipe than others... Can't put my finger on it.

Love it!! Definitely had to tweak the seasoning.

This was bad & flavorless. There needs to be wayyyy more seasoning, and maybe even more "sauce" for the amount of noodles it calls for. I think the idea is there & with some tweaking may be better but i won't be trying this again.

Jerk cod & creamed corn

tsp jerk seasoning

spring onions

can sweetcorn

tbsp single cream

red chilli

lime wedges, to serve (optional)

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cod on a baking sheet and rub with half the oil, the jerk seasoning and some salt and pepper. Cook for 12-15 mins until cooked through and flaking.

Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Rub the remaining oil over the whole spring onions. Add to the pan and cook for 8-10 mins or until charred and beginning to soften. Keep warm on a plate.

Put the corn in a saucepan with the cream and warm through for 2 mins. Using a stick blender, roughly blitz the corn to a semi-smooth consistency. Stir though the parmesan, chilli and half the coriander, then season to taste.

Serve the cod with the charred spring onions, creamed corn and lime wedges for squeezing over, and scatter over the remaining coriander.
