This is a classic Jamaican recipe that dates back to the original inhabitants of Jamaica, the Carib-Arawak Indians who used this method of spicing for pit-cooked meats.
Ingredients:
For the Dry Powder:
1 tbsp ground
allspice
1 tbsp dried thyme
1½ tsp
Cayenne pepper
1½ tsp freshly-ground
black pepper
1½ tsp ground
sage
3/4 tsp ground
nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground
cinnamon
1 tbsp habanero or Scotch bonnet powder
For the Fresh Mix:
2 tbsp minced fresh garlic
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 Habanero (or Scotch Bonnet)
chilli
3
spring onions, finely chopped
225g finely-chopped onion
Method:
If making a dry spice blend then simply mix all the herbs and spices together and store in an air-tight jar. If, however, you are making a fresh blend then de-seed and finely chop the Habañero pepper, then in a large bowl combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, garlic and sugar then add the Habañero peppers and the onion.
This mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days and makes an excellent rub for fish and meats. However, if you want to use the mixture as a marinade stir-in 100ml orange juice, 4 tbsp lime juice, 6 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce.
