How people cook with it
This versatile seasoning paste is perfect for marinating and cooking a variety of dishes, bringing a taste of the Caribbean to your kitchen.
- Marinating chicken and pork
- Seasoning grilled fish

For best results, allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably several hours, in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply. You can then grill, bake, or pan-fry your food as usual. A little goes a long way due to its potent flavor and heat. Adjust the amount based on your preference for spice.

Unlike dry jerk rubs, this paste provides a moist marinade that adheres well to food. Its concentrated form means a smaller quantity is needed to achieve a robust flavor. The fresh ingredients contribute to a more authentic and vibrant taste compared to some powdered mixes.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the paste to maintain its freshness and potency. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks, allowing you to enjoy its bold flavor over multiple meals.
