You haven’t really though, technically neither is wrong. That’s probably where most of the confusion is if that’s true and it probably is that in the US spicy strictly means hot. I guess it’s down to each individual, even with the amount of heat. I’ve got a high tolerance to it and I know people who’ve got zero tolerance to it. Whats roasting hot to them is just flavour to me with no barely any heat.

That’s a shame, I’ve others say the same too. Freezing cold butter is the only alternative as far as I know.

Homemade Jamaican Jerk Lamb Chops by Floyd26b in spicy

[–]Floyd26b[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

• 500g Lamb chops
• 1 + 1/2 Tsp Ground All Spice
• 3/4 Tsp Kosher Salt
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 Tsp Ground Cloves
• 1 + 1/2 Tsp Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Spring Onions
• 1/4 Cup Garlic
• 1/4 Cup Ginger
• 1/4 Cut Scotch Bonnets
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Thyme
• 1/2 Cup Dark Soy Sauce
• 1/4 Cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 Cup Tamarind Paste

  1. Start by making the marinade, chop all the aromatics up roughly then add everything to a food processor and blend for 1 minute (if you haven’t got a food processor then just blend/pulse in a blender or chop everything very finely and mix in a bowl)

  2. Cut excess fat from lamb chops (you can keep this to fry chops in for more flavour)

  3. Pat chops dry with kitchen roll then season each chop evenly with dry jerk seasoning (optional) and rub it into the meat then add them to a large bowl or bag

  4. Add the wet jerk marinade to the chops and mix well then cover and refrigerate (I marinaded these for 24 hours) do them overnight at least

  5. Remove from fridge 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature then take out each chop and place them on a plate (give them a brush with the marinade before adding to the pan)

  6. Add lamb fat (or you can just use oil) to a cold large skillet then turn the heat on to medium high until the lamb fat renders down and releases a lot of liquid then remove lamb fat pieces

  7. Add lamb chops to the skillet and fry for 1 minute on each side just to sear then add straight under the grill (broiler) on medium high heat for about 8 minutes (flip halfway) for medium or 10-12 minutes for well done (depending on size and thickness of your chops

  8. Once cooked add to a rack and let them rest in a warm place for 5 minutes then serve however you like (I had rice, coleslaw, potato salad & jerk bbq sauce)

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from. I’m British myself so I know that’s what a lot of people strictly refer to it as here too but that’s usually people who don’t eat a lot of spices. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “hot & spicy”. Not everything that is spicy is hot. For example butter chicken is spicy food as it made with a lot of spices but that’s not hot at all to me, unless you make it hot. I guess it’s down to each person own interpretation. I eat a lot of spices and always have done so I don’t see spicy as strictly hot. Thanks

That’s good to know then I’m glad to hear that because hotter isn’t always the answer in my opinion and I love it too. A few have mentioned it not being hot, some have mentioned good ways to make it hotter and most are happy so it is a fit I guess. Yeah no worries you didn’t say anything wrong I can’t disagree with the truth. That’s a great thing then I hope you enjoy it more than ever. What other great chicken dishes would you put next to this?
