RASTA PASTA WITH JERK CHICKEN



Rasta Pasta With Jerk Chicken image

Comforting and spicy in just the right way, Rasta pasta is popular in Jamaican communities across New York and beyond. This version gets its spice from jerk seasoning and a single Scotch bonnet. The bell peppers and green onions add not only texture, but a sweet crunch and brightness. You could swap salmon or shrimp for the chicken, or use fettuccine or rigatoni instead of the penne, if you like; just mind the cooking time. You could even halve the heavy cream, or substitute coconut milk for more depth of flavor. Feel free to refrigerate any leftovers, and either reheat or eat them cold the next day. This is a dish that gets better with a little time.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound penne pasta
3 bell peppers, preferably a mix of colors, thinly sliced
4 green onions, sliced, plus more for garnish
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup jerk seasoning
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, pierced, not sliced (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine jerk seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Pull chicken out about 1 hour before cooking, so it comes to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the chicken to the skillet, and sear chicken on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Once chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 10 minutes, and slice on a bias.
  • As chicken roasts, prepare the pasta: Set a pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta, and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a heavy pot set over medium, and sauté bell peppers with green onions until peppers are barely softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until it's fragrant, about another minute.
  • Add the 1/4 cup jerk seasoning to the pot and combine. Add the thyme and pierced pepper. Add heavy cream and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Mix in the Parmesan, then add pasta.
  • Top with the jerk chicken, and garnish with green onions. Serve hot.

1/4 cup seasoning blend, such as Dash
1/4 cup steak blackening seasoning
1/2 cup salt

Butter, for cooking

1 cup salt
1 cup ground black pepper
3/4 cup paprika
1/2 cup ground cumin
1/2 cup ground onion powder
1/2 cup seasoned salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • For the collard greens: Peel off collard green leaves from stems (leave in big pieces; we do not dice our collard greens).
  • Place onions in a pot with butter over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and peppers.
  • Cut bacon strips into 3 sections and add to the pot. Add black pepper. Saute all together-do NOT crisp bacon, but allow browning on the bottom of the pot, stirring every now and then and scraping the bottom of the pot. Add 1 cup water, deglazing bottom of the pot.
  • Add paprika and saute more. The pot will start to dry out; add water as needed, making sure that the pot stays moist and wet but being careful not to overwater. Add garlic and collard greens along with 3 cups water.
  • Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and House Seasoning and continue to saute, adding water as needed, until the collard greens become soft. Add potatoes and fill pot with hot water until everything is barely submerged. Add ham base. Stir. Cover and cook, stirring every 30 minutes and adding water as needed to keep everything submerged, for 3 hours.
  • For the mashed potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot. Pour hot water over the top until potatoes are submerged. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and put potatoes to the side.
  • Add butter and garlic to the hot pot. Add potatoes, sour cream, whipping cream and 3-cheese mixture, along with House Seasoning. Mash all ingredients together.
  • For the jerk seasoning: Mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle, cumin, salt, brown sugar, cayenne, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, seasoning blend and blackening seasoning in a bowl.
  • For the jerk chicken: Stir the salt and cayenne into the buttermilk, then add the chicken. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 16 but no more than 24 hours.
  • Take out chicken and cut each piece in half at an angle. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with jerk seasoning.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to a hot pan. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add chicken and cook both sides until chicken is almost done. Add green peppers and onions, pork belly, House Seasoning, a pinch jerk seasoning and a little more butter.
  • Add a touch of water while shaking the pan. Cook until pork belly, peppers, and onions are translucent and the chicken is cooked through. Add parsley and roasted red peppers for decoration. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
  • Mix the garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, onion powder, seasoned salt and cayenne in a bowl.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN AND SEASONING



Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Seasoning image

I was fortunate to receive an old family recipe from a business associate who is from Jamaica for jerk seasoning. We like it so much that I make 2# batches at a time. For those of you not familiar with Jerk, it is a spicy, sweet, tangy and HOT seasoning for grilled meat, pork and chicken particularly. This spice blend recipe will make enough for several batches, but remember, the idea is to put as much on the meat as you can get to stick.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons ground thyme
1 tablespoon ground rosemary
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground scotch bonnet peppers (habanero)
12 bay leaves (finely crumbled)
1/3 cup sugar
3 lbs chicken (pieces, wings, halves, whatever)
1 lime, juice of
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all but chicken, lime juice and oil in mixing bowl and whisk to mix well.
  • Whisk together lime juice and olive oil.
  • Rub chicken well with lime/oil mix. Do not marinate.
  • Coat chicken with dry seasoning/spice mixture. The idea here is to get as much as possible to stick to the chicken. We store our seasoning in a leftover spice container with large sprinkle holes and use that to season. This is not a rub, so it should not be applied in rub fashion.
  • Refrigerate 1-3 hours, then remove from refrigerator and allow to come to near room temperature.
  • Prepare grill for direct/indirect grilling.
  • Grill chicken over hot direct fire. Don't worry about the black, it's supposed to be there. In fact, 30-40% of the skin should end up black, but it will not be bitter.
  • Once seared, remove to the indirect heat area of the grill and cook to 165* internal temperature.
  • One quick dance across the direct heat before serving will help crisp it a bit.
  • Serve with plenty of napkins.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken. Dark meat has more flavor, while light meat is leaner and cooks more quickly.
  • Use a good quality jerk seasoning. You can make your own or purchase it from a store. If you are using a store-bought seasoning, be sure to check the label for ingredients to avoid any allergies or dietary restrictions.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will allow the flavors of the jerk seasoning to penetrate the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and drying out.
  • Serve the jerk chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice and peas, coleslaw, or plantains.

Conclusion:

Jerk chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
