Steps:
- Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on high or preheat the broiler.
- In a food processor or blender, process all the seasoning blend ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a large shallow glass dish.
- Add the pork to the seasoning blend, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Grill the pork or broil about 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until slightly pink in the center. Sprinkle with the salt. Serve with the lime wedges to squeeze on top.
- Cook's Tip on Jerking and Jerk Seasoning
- Jerking, a method of cooking in Jamaica, involves rubbing meat with, or marinating it in, a fiery-hot, intensely flavored mixture, then grilling it. Although chicken and pork are the most commonly jerked foods, beef, goat, and fish can also be prepared this way. Jerk seasoning almost always includes some Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, but we lowered the heat a notch here by using jalapeño. Other very typical jerk seasonings are allspice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, thyme, garlic, and onions.
