Jamaican jerk marinade

Look at the beautiful colors!
What I had:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 Scotch Bonnet peppers (thanks to a generous friend)
  • handful of grape tomatoes (I used about 8)
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled
  • 4 scallions, with about 4 inches of the greens
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 inch of ginger peeled
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 4 teaspoons whole allspice
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper for taste
When you don't have a glove ...
What I did:
  • Put the first 3 ingredients in a food processor
  • Coarsely chop all fresh ingredients and throw them in (use gloves for the peppers, or improvise with a bag if you forget to buy gloves)
  • Add all spices
  • Grind them together
  • Taste for salt and pepper
Use as salsa, or marinade for chicken in slow cooker.
