What it is

The smoke that conquered the world: jerk — chicken or pork rubbed in a fiery paste of scotch bonnets, allspice (pimento), thyme and scallions, smoked-grilled over pimento wood — Jamaica's gift to global barbecue. Ingredients: chicken or pork, scotch bonnets, allspice berries, thyme, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy or salt, brown sugar, lime; pimento wood (or bay + allspice leaves). Recipe: 1) Blend the jerk paste; marinate overnight. 2) Grill low over pimento wood, turning, until smoky and charred at the edges. 3) Rest; chop with a cleaver. 4) Serve with festival (sweet fried dumplings), rice and peas or bread. Serve: at jerk pits in Boston Bay (its birthplace) and everywhere on Earth now. Flavor: fire, smoke, allspice perfume. History: jerk descends from Maroon cooking (African hunters in Jamaica's mountains preserving and smoking meat, merging Taíno barbacoa). See also: Ackee and Saltfish, Jamaican Patty.
