Green seasoning or seasonin’ is a blend of herbs and other aromatics and a quintessential element of Caribbean cooking. We use green seasoning as a marinade for meats, seafood, stews, curries and put "pot-spoonfuls" into soups and one-pot rice dishes to enhance the flavor. Not only does it enhance flavor, but it's also loaded with nutrients! It is to Trinidad what pesto is to Italians and Sofrito and Recaito is to other parts of the Caribbean.
Habanerocongo, scotch bonnet, cherry pepper or other hot pepper, to taste
Instructions
Wash, drain and roughly chop herbs, onion, sweet pepper, onion and any other ingredients you are using.
Place all ingredients in a blender and food processor and puree until fine. Water is not required in a food processor, but add just enough water to blend in the blender. Scrape down sides and pulse again.
Place in a glass jar, close tightly and store in the refrigerator. Will stay 1-2 weeks (sometimes I keep it up to a month in the refrigerator).
The color will vary depending on the combination of ingredients used.
Alternatively, pour into ice trays, freeze. Remove cubes, place in a resealable bag and store in the freezer, until ready to use.
