In the kitchen with Elise

My husband fell in love with Jerk Chicken some time back, when he tried it in Jamaica. He all of a sudden had a taste for it and I can't find anywhere around me that sales it.

It is hard to find Carne Seca in stores, at least here in America it is... Only in select Brazilian specialty shops; and when you do finally find it, they are extremely over priced. I remember buying a small piece weighing no more than about 8oz and I payed about $25. Very expensive. I was trying to make a fe...
