Don't Worry Bout A T'ing!

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Hot time... summer in the city. Time to "Cool down the Pace".  

What you need is a little rum, a little Reggae and maybe some Jerk Rubbed Pork. Even if you're not hanging out in the islands, this will help. 

So don't worry... turn up the music, pour up some rum and just remember what Bob Marley says, "I can't refuse it. What to be got to be. Feel like dancing, dance 'cause we are free!" 

"Every little t'ing gonna be alright"... The Pots are on!

The Plate... 

Jerk Rubbed Pork Loin

Love a grilled pork tenderloin... especially a good spicy pork tenderloin. We think you'll like this one. Something a little different and hey, it's "island inspired". 

What you need... 

1 whole pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)

1 medium red onion, chopped

4 green onions, chopped

1 habanero chile, chopped

1 piece of ginger (about 2 inches thick), chopped

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp fresh thyme

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp ground cloves

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup canola oil

What you do...

Combine all of the ingredients (except the pork) and put in a food processor.
Give it a whirl until it becomes a thin paste. 
Cover the pork with the paste, cover and put in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
Heat your grill to medium-high.
Place the pork in the center of the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes turning every 2 minutes.
Grill until internal temp reaches 140 degrees F.
Revoke from the grill, wrap tightly with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Place on cutting board and slice into nice thick pieces. 

Enjoy.
