Directions

Step 1

Trim and roughly chop the green onions. Set aside.

Peel the garlic cloves and chop them coarsely.

Step 4

Add the chopped green onions, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic cloves, and fresh thyme into a blender or food processor.

Add ground allspice, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper into the blender.

Step 6

Pour in the lime juice, orange juice, coconut aminos, and extra virgin olive oil.

Step 7

Peel and grate the fresh ginger, adding it to the blender.

Step 8

Blend all ingredients at high speed until they form a smooth, thick sauce, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is incorporated.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed, keeping in mind the Whole30 guidelines which limit added sugars and preservatives.

Step 10

Transfer the jerk sauce into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator. The flavors will continue to develop over time and it can be kept for up to two weeks.

Step 11

Use this sauce to marinate chicken, pork, or seafood, or as a flavorful addition to roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
