A famous entertainer of children once said “if you love it so much, why don't you marry it?” We would marry this jerk sauce, but it's illegal in all 50 states. We'll settle for bathing meatballs in its splendor, coating them with smoky goodness. The bright salad on the side, with oranges and red bell peppers, provides a nice sweet crunch that melds perfectly. The secret word to this dish is: delicious.
