Jerk Chicken Drumsticks.

Being an Irish woman I just love potatoes.  What’s that got to do with Jerk Chicken you might ask? Well recently on twitter I started following this account called @TastyPotatoes and they are sharing the most delicious looking potato based dishes, dishes that scream ‘comfort’ and ‘eat me.’  One that I just had to try was their Jerk Potato & Black Bean Curry.  I reproduced it as best as I could using a can of black eye beans and chickpeas instead of two tins of black beans as they are simply not stocked in Irish supermarkets. as at time of writing I had never found them in an Irish supermarket.  Since writing the blogpost I’ve been told that black beans are available in SuperValu and indeed have verified this in my local branch.  For the Jerk Potato & Black Bean Curry Recipe just click on this link to Tasty Potatoes.

Maybe I’m wrong on that score and If you know of any other  Irish supermarkets that sells them please let me know as that’s where I do most of my food shopping.

Jerk seasoning was easily available in the supermarket and one that I hadn’t ever used before.

Not being of a vegetarian persuasion I chose to accompany the Jerk Potato & Black Bean Curry with Jerk Chicken Drumsticks.  Chicken drumsticks are under-utilised in cooking and recipes and thus incredibly cheap.
