GOURMET NEWS SEPTEMBER 2014 OILS & VINEGARS 2 3 Busha Browne: "Fresh Ingredients, Artisan Quality, Jamaican Tradition Preserved" Busha Browne is perhaps most famous for its all-purpose Jerk Seasoning Rub, which is made from a selection of crushed herbs and spices, including escel- lion (spring onion), Scotch bonnet peppers and all- spice berries. The Jerk Seasoning Rub is a tradi- tional hot and spicy sea- soning paste, specially compounded for the "jerking" of meat, fish, vegetables or tofu. Used prudently prior to cook- ing, this seasoning will provide the most pungent flavor and an absolutely irresistible aroma. The company recommends using 1 ounce of Busha Browne Jerk Seasoning Rub per 2 pounds of your favorite meat and vegetables. Jerk is the authentic Jamaican method of cooking that refers to a form of grilling meats using a combination of highly spiced seasonings and cooking over a pimento wood fire. The process is a slow and savory one that traps all the spices and juices inside the meat, pro- viding a smoky, aromatic fla- vor. Prepared and bottled in small batches as they were two hundred years ago, these award-winning prod- ucts reflect the right heritage of Jamaican cookery.
