Caribbean Jerk Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put all JERK SAUCE ingredients in food processor and pulse until well blended.
• Put ground beef in medium mixing bowl, add JERK SAUCE, egg and breadcrumbs.
• Mix ingredients thoroughly (I wash my hands and dig in, but you can use a plastic or wooden spoon).
• Form an oblong meatloaf and put in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
• Remove and add MEATLOAF TOPPING using spatula to spread on top and on sides of meatloaf.
• Continue cooking for 25 to 35 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine all ingredients.
• On a lightly greased baking sheet mould into a long loaf shape.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the beef, allspice, cayenne, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, brown sugar, thyme, salt and black pepper and gently mix just until combined.
• Form the meat into eight 2-ounce patties, then press the center of each with your thumb to create an indent. Coat the grill pan with cooking spray.
• Grill the sliders until the internal temperature reads 150˚, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place a slice of cheese on each patty once you flip them. The cheese will melt over the sides of the patties. Remove the patties to a plate and cover loosely with foil to rest.
• While the patties rest, brush the buns with the melted butter and grill until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Assemble the sliders by putting a tablespoon-size dollop of the ketchup on the top and bottom buns, topping the bottom bun with the patty and finishing with an onion ring on top of each. Serve with the remaining onion rings and ketchup on the side.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, shallots, red pepper and Scotch bonnet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, garlic powder, ginger, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the beef and pork to the spice mixture and gently work them together. Gently work in the chilled vegetable mixture along with the egg, coconut milk, and just enough of the breadcrumbs to tighten it all up. Form the mixture into 12 meatballs.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 10 minutes.
• Combine the ketchup and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the skillet and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, another 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Sauté onions and peppers in olive oil until softened.
• Add garlic for last 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let cool down.
• Beat egg in a large bowl and add in ketchup and jerk spice.
• Mix these ingredients well.
• Add in sautéed vegetables and mix.
• Add in crushed saltines and milk.
• Separately, knead the 3 meats together until well blended. Get ready to get messy.
• Combine the meats and the other mixture in the large bowl and keep squishing it all together until completely blended.
• Spray a loaf pan with olive oil and add the final mixture to the pan.
• If serving later, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Place room-temperature pan on grill (works best on a wood pellet smoker from www.pelletsmoke.com) at 350°F for 1.25 hours.
• Check with meat thermometer and it should be about 170°F
• Once done, drain grease out of pan and glaze the top with your favorite BBQ sauce.
• I mixed my favorite sweet BBQ sauce with 1/2 tbsp of the hot jerk spice and some crushed pineapples.
• Return to the grill at 350°F for 5 more minutes until sauce on top gets a little sticky.
• Remove from grill and let rest for 10-15 minutes and serve.
• Enjoy with a glass of Shiraz.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine meat, oats, onion, catsup, egg, worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, and Caribbean jerk seasoning in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly.
• Shape meatloaf mixture into 10x6-inch loaf on rack of broiler pan. Bake 30 minutes.
• Drain pineapple, reserving juice for another use. Combine pineapple, chutney, jalapeño pepper and mint; mix well.
• Remove meatloaf from oven; spoon 1/2 cup pineapple mixture over top of meatloaf. Continue baking 20 to 25 minutes, until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160 degrees for beef, 170 degrees for turkey), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color.
• Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining pineapple mixture.

Steps:

• In small cup or bowl, combine water and couscous; cover and allow to stand 5 minutes plus or until couscous has absorbed all water.
• In small non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, saute red bell pepper, thyme, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper in oil 1 to 2 minutes; allow to cool.
• In medium bowl, combine turkey, bell pepper mixture and couscous. Shape mixture into a round loaf using a 9-inch pie plate or a rectangular loaf using a 8-by-4-by-2-inch pan. Spray pan with vegetable cooking spray.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F when inserted in the center of the loaf and juices run clear.
