What is Jamaican Jerk Seasoning?
Jerk seasoning is a popular spice mix from Jamaica. Its bold taste combines spicy, sweet, smoky, and savoury flavours. The word “jerk” describes the seasoning and the cooking method, which involves slow-cooking meats over an open flame or in a smoker to bring out deep flavours.
Jamaican jerk seasoning is mainly used for chicken, pork, lamb, and fish, but it also tastes great on vegetables and tofu, making it a flexible choice for many dishes. It is a common ingredient in Caribbean homes and has become popular worldwide for its rich flavour.
