If you are looking for a delicious and flavorful dish to tantalize your taste buds, Jamaican jerk pork loin is an excellent choice. This Caribbean-inspired dish is made with tender pork loin marinated in a vibrant blend of spices, herbs, and fiery scotch bonnet peppers. Jerk seasoning typically includes allspice, thyme, scallions, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, creating a complex and aromatic flavor profile. The pork is then grilled or roasted until perfectly cooked, resulting in a juicy, succulent, and slightly charred exterior that pairs perfectly with the spicy and tangy marinade. Served with traditional sides like rice and peas, fried plantains, or coleslaw, Jamaican jerk pork loin is a delightful culinary experience that will leave you craving more.

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.

- Preheat a grill to medium-low. Remove the meat from the marinade, leaving some of the marinade clinging to the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the kosher salt and lightly oil the grill grates. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the pork is just cooked through and nicely browned on the outside and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 to 150 degrees F, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove the tenderloins from the grill and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, slice the tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal and serve fanned out on a plate,.
