  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 lb cured pig's tail
  • 3 cups BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup dark rum
  • 3 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard

Instructions

  • Blend together ingredients for green seasoning.
  • Add pig’s tail to pot of boiling water for 20 minutes to rinse.
  • Add blended green seasoning to a second pot of boiling water and then re-add pig’s tail to water. (You will be boiling the pigs tail twice in total)
  • Remove pig’s tail from the water after 15 minutes ensuring not to rinse them off the second time.
  • Heat BBQ grill to 350°F (180°C) or set oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Combine the BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, rum, garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a medium bowl.
  • If using a BBQ grill, cook pig’s tail on each side for 3 minutes and then add the sauce and again leave each side for 4 minutes until the fat has somewhat melted and is dark and sizzling.
  • If using oven, cover pig’s tail with foil and bake for 6 minutes without sauce. Brush BBQ sauce onto pig’s tail, making sure both sides are covered completely in sauce. Leave for another 5 minutes, still covered with foil, and then for another three minutes without the foil to achieve a dark crispness on the outside.
  • Best served hot!
