This dish is sold by the side of the road in Jamaica and tastes best if cooked on the barbie. perfect summer food and anyway, I just like saying the name. Cooking time does not include overnight marination in the fridge. From a recipe by Matthew Evans.
Ingredients:
100 g spanish onions, peeled and roughly chopped.
3 cloves peeled garlic
3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground allspice (pimento berries)
1/2 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon ground black peppercorns
1 small red chile, ground
6 (150 g) pork necks or 6 (150 g) spareribs
Directions:
1. Blitz the onion, garlic, thyme and salt in a food processor, with a little oil if necessary, to make a paste.
2. Add the spices.
3. Smear on pork or spare ribs and marinate overnight.
4. Brush the pork with a little more oil and grill over hot coals in a covered barbeque for five to ten minutes until just cooked through.
5. Alternatively roast in a hot oven (220C) for about 10-15 minutes.
6. The outside should be dark and mysterious and the inside moist.
