Ingredients

• 5 stalks Green onions (scallions)
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 Habanero pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari for gluten-free version)
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the green onions and habanero pepper thoroughly.

Step 2

Chop the green onions into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the ginger into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Remove the stem from the habanero pepper. You may also remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the green onions, garlic cloves, habanero pepper, fresh thyme, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, coconut aminos, lime juice, and olive oil into the blender.

Step 7

Blend all the ingredients together to form a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides several times to ensure an even blend.

Step 8

Once smooth, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.

Step 9

Transfer the jerk sauce to a clean, airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator. It can be used immediately, but for best flavor, allow it to sit for at least a few hours to overnight.

Step 10

Use this sauce as a marinade for chicken, pork, or even fish for that classic Jamaican jerk flavor!
