I enjoy baking and cooking so I like to experiment with new recipes. Since I have had some people ask for recipes of pictures I've posted, I decided to create a blog of them. Remember you can tweek them to your own tastes so just have fun. I'm open for suggestions and feel free to send me new recipes you've tried. Enjoy!

Grilled Jerk Chicken with Mango Salsa
INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN MARINADE:
½ cup vegetable oil
1 onion coarsely chopped
2 scallions coarsely chopped
1 large scotch bonnet pepper, coarsely chopped (stem & seeds removed)
1 tbsp grated ginger
3 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
1 tsp chopped thyme
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp light brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
pinch of ground cloves
1 tsp all spice
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp lime juice
4 pieces of chicken (I used breasts but you can use thighs and drumsticks too)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Puree all ingredients, except chicken, in a food processor until almost smooth.
2. Place chicken in large shallow baking dish and pierce with a fork to make tiny holes in chicken.
3. Rub marinade onto chicken, cover and refrigerate 24-48 hours, depending on how intense you want the flavor.
4. Preheat grill and then grill chicken on each side 5-6 mins, or until cooked through.
INGREDIENTS FOR MANGO CILANTRO RELISH:
2 mangoes, peeled and diced
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
3 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp orange juice
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine all ingredients in bowl.
2. Pour over chicken when ready to serve.
*I have also seared chicken in pan and then baked in oven 'til done. I have also used pablano peppers instead of scotch bonnet (not as spicy) but added cayenne to compensate.
