Jerk Pork

Sweet Plantains

Pickled Salad

Method

Jerk Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and minced garlic. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and cook for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Rice and Peas Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine long-grain rice, kidney beans, coconut milk, water, chopped green onions, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Sweet Plantains Preparation

  1. 4

    Fry the Plantains

    Peel and slice the ripe plantains diagonally. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pickled Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Pickled Salad

    In a bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, julienned carrots, and sliced red onion. In a separate bowl, mix white vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
