Instructions

  • Jerk Pork
  • Cut the pork tenderloin into 1 - 2 inch chunks and add to a large zip top bag
  • Add all other ingredients to a large food processor or blender and blend until mostly smooth
  • Pour jerk marinate over the pork and carefully push out the excess air and seal the bag - take care to wash hands with soap and water if you get any on your ... be careful, this marinade is HOT!
  • Using your hands, gently massage the bag so that all pieces of meat inside are coated with the marinade
  • Place bag inside a bowl or dish to avoid possible contamination and refrigerate for 24 hours
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Once 24 hours has passed, spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray and using tongs, lay the pieces of meat out evenly on the tray. Cover tray with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Sear meat pieces on a hot grill pan for the sear marks ... it's not necessary but it looks real pretty
  • To make the rice, bring four cups of water to boil and add rice
  • Add to the rice the beans, garlic, green onions, pepper, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes (or whatever specific time instructions are on your box of rice)
  • Once the water is absorbed and rice has cooked, pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately
