I was surprised that all those different spices came together so good. The spiciness of it didn't hit me until I was done eating. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag. -
What a great recipe Deantine. A really authentic jerk recipe. My dh was over the moon with this hot and spicy treat. I used a huge scotch bonnet and was really glad that I did. I served this lovely pork two ways....one for me and one for dh. My pork slices were served on top of corn griddle cakes and drizzled with a sweet hot & spicy bbq sauce. Thanks for sharing a recipe that we will be having again. -
The whole family raved over this, including the picky kids. The only substitution I made was to use 1/4 teaspoon cayenne for the scotch blue bonnets. It offered just enough kick for all. It's great leftover sandwiches & snacking cold from the fridge. Thanks a bunch for posting your recipe Deantini! -
This was a a wonderful dish. I used 1/2 a Scotch Bonnet (yeah, I know...I whimped out!). But it was really good, and next time I will go with the full Scotch Bonnet, because using only 1/2 of one was very well tolerated. But the combo of jerk seasonings was superb and made for a really flavorful grilled tenderloin. Thanks, Deantini.

This was tasty and super flavorful (and, yes, I was brave and used a Scotch bonnet in order to be authentic). We even ate the leftovers cold! I will be making this again. Made for ZWT5 by a Groovy GastroGnome.

As Bob Marley would sing " Don't worry bout a thing" This was quick and easy to put together and so good. I had to subbed a jalepeno for the scotch bonnet but other then that made exactly as stated. I only used about half a pork tenderloin ( cooking for two) I marinaded it for about 4 hours I can only imgaine how much better it would be with an overnight marinade. I served this with recipe#275828#275828 and recipe#178567#178567 as sides. Made for ZWT 5 Caribbean region for team Zaar Chow Hounds
