Asked by Wiki User

One of the most popular and iconic dishes in Jamaica is jerk chicken. Jerk chicken is a flavorful and spicy dish made by marinating chicken in a mixture of spices, including scallion, thyme, garlic, ginger, and Scotch bonnet peppers, and then grilling or smoking it. The result is a delicious and aromatic dish with a unique combination of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors.

Rice and peas is another staple in Jamaican cuisine. The dish consists of rice cooked with coconut milk and kidney beans, seasoned with thyme, scallion, and Scotch bonnet peppers. It is often served as a side dish to accompany various main courses.

Ackee and saltfish is the national dish of Jamaica. Ackee is a fruit that, when cooked, has a texture similar to scrambled eggs. It is typically sautéed with salted codfish, onions, tomatoes, and various seasonings.

Jamaican cuisine is rich and diverse, with influences from African, Indian, Spanish, and British culinary traditions. The use of bold spices and flavors is a common characteristic of Jamaican food.

What is jamaican seasoning?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jamaica is most famous for jerk seasoning, which typically includes scallions, ginger, thyme, garlic, cinnamon, peppercorns, nutmeg, allspice ("pimento") and, of course, Scotch Bonnet peppers. Those ingredients are found, in varying proportions, in other Jamaican dishes, as well.

Technically, of course, those are not all spices. Scotch Bonnets are a fruit, scallions and garlic are considered vegetables and thyme is an herb. Jamaican cuisine sometimes uses turmeric, which is also a spice. You might notice that ginger, turmeric and cinnamon are spices often found in South Asian cuisines--this is not a coincidence, but a result of Jamaican history.

Allspice, which is invariably called "pimento" in Jamaica (and nowhere else), has nothing at all to do with the mild red peppers called pimentos everywhere else in the world. Allspice is a dried berry that is native to the Caribbean and is the single spice that is the most important and characteristic flavor of Jamaican cuisine.
