Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Red chiles, thyme and allspice give Caribbean jerk seasoning its sweet and spicy flavor. Look for the mixture, also called Jamaican jerk seasoning, in the spice section of the supermarket.
  • tip 2
    Try using 1 plantain in place of the bananas. A large firm variety of banana often called the cooking banana, plantains have a mild, less-sweet banana flavor that is a good match for hot and spicy foods. Cook the plantain 1 to 3 minutes longer than stated cooking times, or until tender.
  • tip 3
    Complete the meal with cooked white rice sprinkled with diced bell pepper.
