Instructions

For The Pork Chops:

  • 1.  Combine pork chops, MAGGI® Jerk Seasoning, ketchup, garlic, thyme, MAGGI® Season Up Jerk, soy sauce and vegetable oil together in a bowl, mix well and let marinate in fridge for 4 hours (for best results marinate overnight)
  • 2.  Grill pork on a medium low temperature for 30 minutes, turning often, until cooked to your liking.

For the Bread:

  • 3.  Heat shortening over medium heat, in a heavy saucepan to 350˚F (180˚C)
  • 4.  Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in warm water and knead until soft but not sticky.
  • 5.  Shape dough into twelve 3-inch diameter balls. Flatten into ½-inch-thick patties, making a small hole in the centre of each patty.
  • 6.  Fry in preheated shortening one at a time until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Corn Salad

  • 7.  Preheat the grill to medium high heat; lightly oil the grate.
  • 8.  Cook the corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes; set aside until just cool enough to handle.
  • 9.  Slice the kernels off the cob and place into a bowl.
  • 10.  Combine the warm corn kernels with the sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and olive oil.
  • 11.  Season with sugar and MAGGI® Onion & Garlic Cubes; toss until evenly mixed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavours to blend before serving.
