JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN
This is a compilation of several recipes for "Jerk Pork" that I've tried. I don't claim that it has any Jamaican authenticity at all, but we really like it. It's important to find a pork loin (not the tenderloin) that has a nice fat layer on top... it really keeps the moisture in and makes for a very nice presentation when it's browned and crisp. I made this for my mother's friend birthday party, for a crew of very discriminating palates and they went nuts. Prior to that, I didn't have a written recipe for this, but I had demands for the recipe so I had to measure as I re-created it! I hope you enjoy.

- 1. Butterfly the tenderloins, for 1-inch-thick sheets. Then, using the tip of a paring knife, make holes 1/4 inch deep all over each sheet of meat. Place the tenderloins in a large nonreactive baking dish and set aside while you prepare the seasoning.2. Combine the chiles, scallions, onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the thyme, allspice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, oil, salt, and sugar and process to a smooth purée (see Notes).3. Using a rubber spatula, spread the seasoning mixture over the tenderloins, stuffing it into the holes. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for at least 4 hours, turning the meat several times.4. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in the smoker box and preheat the grill to high when smoke appears, lower the heat to medium.5. When ready to cook, if using charcoal, toss the wood chips on the coals. Oil the grill grate. Arrange the sheets of pork on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs and brushing occasionally with oil, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, 16 to 20 minutes in all. When not turning the meat, keep the grill covered to hold in the smoke.6. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into thin diagonal slices and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6Notes: Jerk pork is usually prepared with the pork fat left on, but you can certainly trim it off, if you wish. You can make the marinade in a blender if you do, add all the ingredients at once.
