Jerk and Beets

Jim forgot that he already has a pretty good Jerk Sauce recipe on here on the blog, so he reinvented the wheel with this recipe. It was not as good, didn't include garlic, not spicy enough and too green rather than the brownish color we are used to. Perhaps it was the fact that we ground up the amount of whole allspice rather than grinding then measuring. But it was OK.

The beets, however, were like CANDY. We used the Roasted Beets with Horseradish recipe from Epicurious. In addition to the beets greens, which are great, we cooked the chopped stems in the microwave along with chicken stock for 5 minutes or so to soften them and reduce total cooking time. It comes out with this cool pink-purple creamy texture. You won't be disappointed by this quick and easy meal!
