Jerk Pork is EVERYwhere in the USA as I discovered on a recent trip. And with good reason—it is fragrant, spicy, hot and just plain incredible.nAlthough usually barbecued, you will still get the same delicious flavours in this easy version for the Thermomix.

I also found Caribbean food everywhere when I visited the UK, back when we were allowed to travel. The vibrancy of Caribbean food is amazing, both in colour and the pop in your mouth! So get acquainted with this one and you will see why.
