Jerk Mayo Beef Burger (Jamaican Recipe)
Jerk is a national dish and a national obsession in Jamaica. Dating back to the time of slavery, the cooking technique was developed as a method for runaway slaves to cook food without being caught. Traditionally, they would dig a pit, light a fire of sweet wood, then lay the meat on top, covered by a piece of tin, then bury it. This method allowed little smoke to escape but made the meat falling-off-the-bone tender. The technique is similar to the imu used by Hawaiians to cook Kahlua pork.
Jerk is a complex blend of seasonings including scallions, onions, scotch bonnet peppers, salt, thyme, allspice, black pepper, and many other spices. All of its ingredients grow on the island’s fertile green landscape.
