ELK CREEK: One Love Spice Island Jerk Rub

Real Caribbean jerk, mon

One Love is Elk Creek's authentic jerk rub — real Caribbean flavour that's brilliant on chicken, fish and roasted veggies, with a mild heat that keeps everyone at the table happy. This one has it all: warm, aromatic island spice built to impress your guests without setting them alight.

The flavour & heat

Warm and aromatic — that classic jerk character of allspice, thyme and island spice, savoury and fragrant with a gentle, mild warmth rather than fierce Scotch-bonnet fire. It's the moreish, feel-good side of jerk: bags of flavour, easy heat.

How to cook with it

• Rub over chicken thighs, marylands or a whole bird, then grill or roast.
• Excellent on fish fillets, prawns and firm seafood.
• Toss roasted veg, pumpkin and sweet potato in it.
• Mix with oil and lime for a quick jerk marinade.

In the shaker

A fragrant, herb-flecked jerk rub with warm island-spice aromatics. It coats chicken and fish evenly and builds a savoury, aromatic crust over the coals.
