The Caribbean and outdoor cooking goes hand in hand and that’s why I’ve got my mate Levi Roots king of the Caribbean to show me off his jerk Sun is out the beer is flowing we got jerk chicken yes first thing we got we’re going to have the key ingredient in Jack first which

Is this all spice or pimento Thats the jamiacan name, pimento or Jamaican pepper and this is the key for all jerk if it’s not in jerk then really you can’t call it jerk. And you can buy this in the supermarket?

You can buy in supermarket, you can more likely get in the powdered version of this is the proper version if you can you like to pound up your own? I love to pound up my own with pestle and mortar And garlic is what, everybody loves a bit of garlic

And the next thing here, ya man, give me one of these man. The scotch bonnet Lord have mercy. It’s the best chili in the whole wide world Quite a bit of heat. yes and you’re going to be careful that you don’t start stratching around with the Scotch bonnet. And I’ll de-bling yes

The Bling ball. No I can’t market this. Now this ain’t like cooking with Delia is it? Do you know what I mean, we’ve got Levi Roots in the house Outdoor cooking is something that all Caribbean people love. And would you say

That most of you are cooking over charcoal or wood. Traditionally the wood is what determines the flavor of the jerk and then the wood of the pimento cheese used to flavor. Oh my lord. the meat. Or you could use Hickory wood whatever you could

Find that would actually give it a flavor Look at my board I mean look at the colors they’re so beautiful it’s the put it in a bun in there yeah mash it up ok let me bang on some of this on there in and and you can massage it in

Yes just rub it up. I will do my best. and getting it in there And my hands are starting to burn That’s the scotch bonnet baby! So I’m marinating, whats the score? Well you can leave it for an hour,

You can leave it two hours three hours best overnight if you can get to do that then you know you’re really cooking because those flavors are going to really represent skin side down first? Side down first yes, so you can get that oil going this is looking good look at that

Come on, yeah nice proper. Hey five brother Respect. Honestly mate that’s a beautiful thing really Shall we have a little eat up? oh mate There you go, jerk chicken Levi Roots stylee what more do you want
