This classic Caribbean jerk marinade combines aromatic green onions, garlic, and fiery habanero peppers with lime juice, soy sauce, and a warming blend of spices like allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Blended until perfectly smooth, it creates a deeply flavourful paste ideal for coating and tenderising meat. For best results, allow your chosen protein to marinate in this mixture for a full day in the fridge before cooking.
