Tip of Stefano:

Jamaican jerky recipe. What is Jamaican jerk spice?

Unknown but certainly not unloved: Jamaican jerk spice. A delicious spice mix from the Caribbean;  Jamaica to be exact. It is a really essential mix of herbs in your Jamaican kitchen.  Meat and vegetables are covered with it before ending up in the oven or on the barbecue. A tasty and slightly spicy mix. Not just to make the meat more tasty, but also to extend the shelf life, not a luxury in this climate.

The recipe for a Jamaican jerk spice

There are several recipes for a Jamaican jerk spice, in addition, there are three ways to do it. You can do it dry, pasta-style or marinade. In the following recipe, we use the spice mix as a marinade. Seitan is perfect here because it is ideal for absorbing marinades. The thyme, chili pepper and allspice are indispensable.

“Seitan is great, I love it. Seitan (pronounced say-tan) is one of the most versatile faux-meat products you’ll ever experience.”

“How seitan tastes depends entirely upon how you flavor it: it’s essentially a sponge for flavor.”
