Ingredients

  • 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper (more to taste )
  • 2 small yellow onions, or 1 medium one
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp all purpose chicken seasoning
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 tbsp allspice (or pimento berries)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lime juice (optional)
  • 6 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 inch ginger (piece of )
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Add all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor. Put the lid on the food processor and run to combine, until the marinade is smooth.
  2. The water added makes this a marinade instead of a sauce. If you would like a smooth sauce consistency, reduce the water to 2 tbsp + add 2 tbsp white vinegar. Blend to make a sauce.
