Dis Jerk'll Gobsmack Ya image

Team Gobsmacked created this dish for a Caribbean challenge during Zaar World Tour III. Each team member suggested an ingredient. Then I added a few more and came up with what you see here. I relied on the fact that jerk seasoning typically includes allspice, Scotch Bonnet peppers, cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme and garlic-so all of these are here and more. I live in Australia and have never eaten jerk, so my irreverent team figured I was the logical choice (target) to create this dish. I have no way of knowing how authentic or tasty this is. I plan on making it in a few days and seeing whether it works. If you make this, you can tell me whether it works for you, and suggest revisions. Note: In Strine (Australian lingo), gobsmacked means surprised or stunned. You have been warned. Time does not include overnight marinating.
