Ingredients
For the jerk paste:
1/2 cup ground allspice
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
6 garlic cloves
4 habanero peppers, seeded and cored
1 tablespoon ground thyme
2 bunches green onions (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the pork:
2 1/2 pound pork shoulder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into large chunks
12 ounces Royal Jamaican ginger beer
1/3 cup Jamaican jerk paste
Instructions
For the jerk paste:
1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Makes about 1 cup.
For the pork:
2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
3. In a large resealable bag, combine the pork and the jerk paste. Close the bag and shake, rub, and massage the paste into the meat until it’s completely covered. Marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
4. Heat oil over medium high heat in a Dutch oven. Add the meat and sear 4-5 minutes on both sides. Add the onion when you flip the meat and allow parts of it to brown. Add the ginger beer, scrape up as many of the brown bits as you can from the bottom of the pan, then cover and move to the oven. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, until you can stick a fork into the meat and twist and it falls apart.
5. Remove from the oven, transfer the meat to a bowl, and shred with two forks.
6. Using an immersion blender, puree the onion and remaining liquid in the Dutch oven until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, just transfer the onion and liquid to a regular blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
7. Add the liquid to the pork and stir to combine.
