Do you want to jazz up your rice game with a mouthwatering jerk gravy? Look no further because I’ve got the perfect recipe for you. This jerk gravy is packed with flavor and is sure to take your rice to the next level. So grab your apron and let’s get cooking!
To start off, gather your ingredients. You will need 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning, 1 onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 red bell pepper (diced), 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
Now, onto the fun part – cooking! In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add in the chopped onions and diced bell pepper. Cook them until they are soft and slightly browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add in the minced garlic and the jerk seasoning. Let the spices toast for a minute or two to really bring out their flavor. Be prepared for your kitchen to be filled with the tantalizing aroma of the jerk seasoning!
Now, it’s time to add in the tomato paste and mix it in with the other ingredients. Let it cook for a few minutes to get rid of the raw tomato flavor. Then, pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the gravy has thickened to your liking, add in the brown sugar and season with salt and pepper. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Now your jerk gravy is ready to pour over your cooked rice.
Serve your rice with a generous ladle of the jerk gravy on top and watch as your taste buds dance with joy. The combination of the spicy jerk seasoning, the sweetness of the bell pepper and brown sugar, and the savory flavors of the broth and soy sauce create an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth.
