    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and set aside.

    2

    In a blender, combine green onions, garlic, thyme, habanero pepper, soy sauce, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, lime juice, and olive oil. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

    3

    Rub the jerk marinade evenly over the pork chunks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best flavor.

    4

    Preheat a grill or oven to 350°F (180°C). If using a grill, set it up for indirect heat.

    5

    Cook the marinated pork on the grill or in the oven for 1.5-2 hours, turning occasionally, until the pork is tender and slightly charred on the outside.

    6

    Serve the jerk pork hot, garnished with fresh thyme and lime wedges. Pair with rice and peas or a fresh green salad for a complete and authentic Jamaican meal.
