Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

10 Scotch Bonnet chile peppers, chopped
1/4 cup each fresh basil and fresh thyme
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup yellow mustard
4 garlic cloves
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons each dried rosemary, chopped fresh parsley and brown mustard seeds
2 tablespoons each orange juice and white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves and grated nutmeg
Lime juice
6 chicken thighs, skin removed
1 garlic clove, chopped
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
Caribbean hot sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup julienned strips jicama
1/2 cup each julienned strips red and yellow bell pepper
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 avocado, sliced
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
Minced fresh chiles
Minced fresh cilantro
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Make jerk rub: In a food processor combine jerk rub ingredients and process to a paste, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Cut several small slits in chicken and rub all over with jerk paste. Refrigerate, tightly covered, overnight. Preheat a barbecue grill and adjust heat to low. Grill chicken for about 40 minutes, turning once, until dark brown and crusty. Let cool and slice. Alternatively, bake chicken at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes, then broil 2 to 3 minutes until crisp.
  • Make dressing: On work surface sprinkle coarse salt over garlic and chop to a fine paste. Whisk garlic paste with lime juice and a few drops of hot sauce, to taste. Whisk in vegetable oil until emulsified. Assemble salad: In a bowl combine salad ingredients with chicken. Pour dressing over, toss to coat and arrange on a lettuce leaf lined platter.

This salad was a bit too dry for my taste. I think it would have been better with a little more dressing. Otherwise, the flavors were great.
