Jerk Marinated Pork
I feel the need to hike. It's been too long, and I probably won't get the chance to hike this weekend either. I think S has to work Saturday. I guess I COULD hike by myself, but that's just not fun. I used to walk by myself, but that was just to clear my head and sort of grieve the loss of my previous relationship. This is why I kept telling everyone that I DID NOT need time by myself after I left my now ex. I'd always spent enough time by myself. Um...but that's a WHOLE other story. On … [Read more...]
Jerk Pork Loin
Click here for recipe EatingWell: May/June 2009 Wow was this good!! I was little hesitant as the recipe calls for a habanero, but I didn't use the seeds and only 3/4 of the pepper. I forgot to marinate the loin in the mixture. So shoot me. It was still excellent! I let it sit for about 30 minutes before I put it in the oven. I had some left over mixture that I'm going to use with some pork loin chops later on this week. I didn't taste much of the green onions, which is interesting … [Read more...]
Caribbean Rice
Caribbean Rice recipe Cooking Light, November 2002 I've never cooked rice with coconut milk. CTM doesn't like coconut so I've always been weary. This is one of those, I had a recipe and thought about following it but didn't really, dishes. I used 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Don't. The rice is really sticky. Use either the recipe allotted mix or 2 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of coconut milk or some variation there of. It was creamy, but sticky. So, I had … [Read more...]
Grilled Jerk-Marinated Pork Kebabs
Grilled Jerk-Marinated Pork Kebabs recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2008 So, apparently I'm boycotting skewers this week, even though the menu had like 3 recipes that required them. *snort* We just grilled the pork chops instead of cutting them up. They were thick loin chops that I had intended on cubing and skewering. Yeah. YUM! I don't think I've had jerk seasoning before. YUM! Of course, I ground my own cinnamon and allspice, because I'm a spice hoor, so it made the seasoning UBER tasty!! … [Read more...]
Mango and Black Bean Salad
Mango and Black Bean Salad Cooking Light, March 2008 So, I'm not really sure WHAT the tomatillo salsa does for this recipe. I may try it with regular salsa next time and see if that makes a difference. The mangoes were UBER ripe and tasted almost as sweet as candy!! I don't think there was enough of them in the mix, though. I did add some jalapeno chopped up in the mix to make it more like a salsa than a salad and I omitted the rice. Just not sure what that was for, either. I think … [Read more...]
Jamaican Chicken Thighs
Jamaican Chicken Thighs Cooking Light, May 2005 I don't think I've ever had jerk style seasonings before. It was easy to make, though. I ground up the ginger and the allspice, beause I only use whole spices with the sweet stuff. Then I mixed in the rest of the spices, making sure to add twice the amount of thyme because I love the stuff. Then added it all back to the spice grinder to combine thoroughly. This worked REALLY well. I rubbed the chicken skin and put some of the rub under the … [Read more...]
