Jerk cooking refers to the use of dry or wet seasoning for meat, seafood and vegetables. The seasoning is typically sweet and spicy. Spices in jerk cooking include allspice, scotch bonnet pepper, pimento, thyme, cinnamon, cloves, garlic and ginger. The spices are blended together and then the food is marinated for 12 hours or more before cooking. While most items are grilled when using the jerk cooking method, other cooking methods such as broiling, baking and steaming are also used.
Fish and other seafood are a major part of Caribbean cooking. Blaff is a popular cooking method that originated on the island of Martinique. White fish is marinated in a mixture of hot peppers, garlic and lime juice for several hours and then poached. This method can also be used for other seafood, such as shrimp.
