INGREDIENTS:
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped 3 scallions, chopped 4-1/2 tablespoons freshly ground (1 ounce) allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
4 bay leaves, crumbled 2 tablespoons peanut oil 2 pounds pork chops, pork steaks, or sliced boneless pork butt



1 Place the peppers, scallions, and all the herbs and spices in a food processor and finely chop to form a paste. Add the oil and puree until smooth. Rub on both sides of the pork and let stand for 30 minutes. Grill on the barbecue.
2 NOTE: This basic jerk marinade can be used on all kinds of meat. It's terrific on chicken and beef, and I certainly thick you should try it on lamb.
