Jamaican Brown Stew Marinade – 340ml

It is built around a blend of ingredients such as spring onions, onions, garlic, thyme, pimento (allspice), molasses, sugar, vinegar, and caramel colour, producing a savoury, slightly sweet, aromatic base with mild chilli heat. The caramel element is what gives brown stew its signature deep brown colour during cooking.

This marinade is typically used by rubbing it into chicken or meat and allowing it to marinate for at least a few hours (often overnight for best results). The meat is then browned and slow-cooked with the marinade to build a thick, flavourful gravy that defines Jamaican brown stew dishes.

It is commonly used for:

• Brown stew chicken (most popular use)
• Beef or lamb stews
• Slow-cooked Caribbean dishes

In cooking, it functions as both a seasoning base and sauce enhancer, helping to develop the rich, dark gravy characteristic of Jamaican home-style stews. The flavour is more savoury and rounded than jerk marinades, with less direct heat and more focus on depth and colour.
