Jerk seasoning is delicious and as it comes from the Caribbean is nice and hot - I do like my chillies! Great recipe which I'm looking forward to trying out. Thanks for sharing this with #WeShouldCocoa. I'm a bit late with the round-up, but hoping to get it finished later this evening.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2133922881979049632016-09-01T23:28:50.215+10:002016-09-01T23:28:50.215+10:00Thanks Cakelaw - strangely enough I have been inte...Thanks Cakelaw - strangely enough I have been interested in jerk recipes for a while but never realised just how hot they are - recommend you make it at home and control the heat!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84227317188687610522016-09-01T23:27:58.444+10:002016-09-01T23:27:58.444+10:00Thanks Kari - once I put all the ingredients in th...Thanks Kari - once I put all the ingredients in the marinade it was pretty easy (and even the marinade wasn't hard to put together)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-57980401196542687362016-09-01T23:27:16.368+10:002016-09-01T23:27:16.368+10:00Thanks Lisa - I hope you enjoy it - it doesn't...Thanks Lisa - I hope you enjoy it - it doesn't have lots of strange ingredients so is fairly accessibleJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-14678131954689783352016-09-01T23:25:48.569+10:002016-09-01T23:25:48.569+10:00Thanks Kimmy - I would probably use way less hot s...Thanks Kimmy - I would probably use way less hot sauce until I tasted it next time - you and I don't need to miss out on the jerk flavours just because we don't like lots of heat :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-89885743826424206182016-09-01T23:24:53.768+10:002016-09-01T23:24:53.768+10:00Thanks Lorraine - ha ha - am glad I can still surp...Thanks Lorraine - ha ha - am glad I can still surprise even you with all your exposure to so many recipesJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-41843652464776896452016-09-01T23:24:19.800+10:002016-09-01T23:24:19.800+10:00Thanks Cindy - either had I but I like cocoa in a ...Thanks Cindy - either had I but I like cocoa in a chilli so it made sense - and though there were lots of dry spices there were also some wet ingredients to make it into a marinade which I guess you could keep in a jar and use what you needed - wonder how long it would lastJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-92060772805854288222016-09-01T23:23:06.339+10:002016-09-01T23:23:06.339+10:00Thanks Janet - I kept the chilli powder to a minim...Thanks Janet - I kept the chilli powder to a minimum but I probably should have also put in less curry powder and hot sauce and just gradually add them to check how hot I wanted - would not be too hard to adjust the recipe to my level of heatJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31706429172031693112016-09-01T23:15:55.857+10:002016-09-01T23:15:55.857+10:00Thanks shaheen - I am sure you could find somethin...Thanks shaheen - I am sure you could find something for the sauce because there are so many flavours ad especially lots of spices I am sure you would loveJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31096733786324423152016-08-27T22:11:33.804+10:002016-08-27T22:11:33.804+10:00The cocoa powder is an interesting ingredient.

Looks good and I may just have to make it. though I may have to wing it as I don't have plum vinegar, plum sauce or hoisin, ume boshi vinegar I love Jerk seasoning and often make mock meat balls with the addition of it, yes it is spicy.
