My favorite Indian spice store in Berkeley has dozens of different kinds of curry pastes. Patak's are really good to start, but they have dozens of other weird imported brands as well. They also have a growing selection of Sri Lankan spices, which are surprisingly different from Indian ones. Just yesterday I bought a bottle of Larich's 'Red Hot Curry Paste' from Sri Lanka, just because it looked intriguing. I'm thinking of taking that one out for a spin with some chicken thighs this weekend. I hope it's better than this jar of Sri Lankan biryani paste I bought a couple years ago -- salty to the point of inedibility. Ouch. I also bought some of the spices necesssary for a home-made phaal, having been inspired by Louis. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Problem is, most jerk chicken you get is just a dry rub. The type I'm hooked on is a very wet saucy type over rice, kind of like the consistency of curry chicken from an indian place. It's the kind I used to get at Alfie's in Raleigh, which has unfortunately closed down. I can't find it that style anywhere around here, so I'm stuck making it myself. So how did your jerk chicken come out? -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: June 14 2007,18:59    I wound up putting the chicken in the blender too. so the recipe was something like 1 cup chicken broth 1 cup tomato paste 1/4 tsp of cloves, cinammon, nutmeg, and ginger 1 tsp allspice 1 scotch bonnet pepper 1 habanero pepper 1 tsp ground pepper 1 clove garlic 1 tbsp oil 1 red onion damn near liquified in the blender 1 chicken breast, ditto simmer for about an hour on the stove, serve over rice. it was soooo good. Not quite hot enough. liquifying the chicken made the whole dish a real smooth sauce. It was actually really tasty. Simmering the sauce for an hour, with a whole, liquified onion in there and a clove of garlic, and no top on so it would reduce to a nice thick sauce, kind of pissed my roommate off, and she aired out the apartment today.

Sounds yummy, I may well try that recipe! (Tho I'd probably triple the garlic, use a yellow onion instead, and I dunno about liquifying the chicken like you did.) You actually ascertained that there's a difference between scotch bonnets and habaneros? (And one habanero and one scotch bonnet and it wasn't hot enough???

You actually ascertained that there's a difference between scotch bonnets and habaneros? Yeah, more garlic is always good. And don't liquify the chicken. The smoothness was nice, but you want some texture. don't liquify the onion either, same reason. There's a little bit of a difference between the habanero and the scotch bonnet. Not much.

The liquefaction of your onions is why you might reconsider investing in a food processor.  They tend to be better for keeping stuff chunky.  Blenders are much better for creating smoother sauces, soups, etc.

Regular Tabasco is warm but not all that hot. Well, clearly, you're going to have to keep upping the dosage with the habaneros. Try four next time.   My philosophy with garlic is that it's almost impossible to put in too much garlic. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus
