Jerk Vegetables - My Recipe

Inspired by Levi Roots – Food For Friends

Serves 2 generously or 4 as a small side

Ingredients:
• 2 orange, red or yellow peppers
• 2 red onions
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp jerk seasoning
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• Pinch of dried thyme
• Salt and black pepper

1. Thinly slice the peppers into strips and the onions into half moons.

2. Heat the oil in a large pan then add the vegetables, letting them sizzle before adding in the jerk seasoning, ketchup, thyme and salt and pepper.

3. Allow the onions to colour before turning the heat down to medium and add about 100ml of water. Let the water bubble away until you hear the vegetables start to fry again, meaning all the water has evaporated. Cook them over a low heat until they are very soft and merging together, this should take from 20-30 minutes, overcooking wouldn’t matter.

Lovely served with Levi’s calypso pork chops and jacket potatoes.
