Ya mon! Your culinary get-away to the Jamaican port of Montego Bay awaits! The origin story of "jerk" cooking is widely debated, so let's just say that this Caribbean cooking technique of rubbing meat with a unique blend of spices that include pimento, allspice, and peppers, is awesome. You'll jerk these juicy pork chops like a boss, and make a refreshing mango salsa that will help cool you off.
