Jamaican Jerk Ribs have a rich history rooted in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. This iconic dish is a flavorful fusion of African, Arawak, and Spanish culinary influences. The technique of jerking, marinating meat in a spicy blend of Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, and other herbs and spices, was developed by the Maroons, descendants of African slaves who escaped into the Jamaican mountains. Today, renowned Jamaican chefs like Chef Levi Roots and restaurants such as Scotchies in Montego Bay are celebrated for their mastery of this dish. For the best Jamaican Jerk Ribs, it's crucial to achieve the perfect balance of heat, smokiness, and aromatic spices in the marinade. Whether grilled over pimento wood or slow-cooked in a smoker, the result is tender, succulent ribs bursting with authentic Jamaican flavors.
