I realized, as I was preparing the recipe, that the seasoning consisted only of the serrano, salt and pepper. In a panic I added 2 tsp. allspice, 1 tsp. thyme . (As usual, I more than doubled the garlic) This gave the dish a subtle jerk-y flavor, but was still a little bland. Not bad, just not spectacular.
