Receta Jerk Pork
Traditional Jerk Pork is made with the whole pig. I've been successful, though, with the Pork Shoulder roast. It's advantages are it's is widely available, cheap, and suitably moist and tasty! Watch the spices you use and adjust if kids are going to be eating it. If not, spicier is better! I made this for a HUGE party, so cut down to size for the right group.

- Combine the chiles, green onion, onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor or strong blender until finely chopped. Add the thyme, allspice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, oil, salt, and sugar and process to a smooth paste/puree.
- Wash and dry the pork shoulder. Make small incisions, about 1/4 inch deep, all over it. Spread the paste over the shoulder and work the paste into the shoulder, gently, being careful not to let it drip over the sides of the shoulder. Put the shoulder in a very large ziploc bag or, if that is unavailable, a large baking dish. Pour over the rest of the marinade, work it into the meat, and set aside to marinate at least 3 hours at room temperature or 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- If using a Gas Grill, preheat both sides to medium high. Then turn off the side of the grill you are going to cook on and leave the other at medium/medium high. Cook for approximately 2.5-3 hours, turning 3-4 times to ensure both sides brown nicely.
- When the pork is sliced it should be juicy and very tender inside. YUMM!
- Serve with Red Bean and Rice (see recipe). Add Yucca, or Plantains for an extra treat.
