jerk pork
Spicy island meat
Jerk pork is pork prepared in the Jamaican jerk style—rubbed or marinated with a fiery blend of scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, and other seasonings, then slow-cooked over pimento wood or grilled.
The method produces meat that's smoky, spicy, and deeply seasoned: We ordered jerk pork from the roadside stand.
