Jerk Ribs

Cultural Context

Jerk cooking originated with the Maroons in Jamaica, a group of escaped slaves who developed this method of seasoning and cooking meat over open flames. The technique reflects a blend of African, Indigenous, and European influences, and is celebrated for its bold flavors and spicy heat. Today, jerk ribs are a staple at barbecues and festivals, enjoyed both locally and internationally, with variations appearing in many Caribbean and American cuisines.
