Caribbean Green Seasoning
Green Seasoning is a delicious herb blend that is used for marinating meats, fish, or stirred into stews and is used widely among the Caribbean islands.
Servings 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of cilantro leaves and stems, about 3oz
- ½ bunch italian parsley about 2 oz
- 8 whole pimento seeds crushed
- 1 scotch bonett pepper seeds and stem removed
- 1 celery stalk leaves included, and roughly chopped
- 1 bunch thyme leaves removed from stems
- ½ red bell pepper roughly chopped
- ¾ cup lime juice from about 5 limes
- 1 inch ginger peeled and chopped
- 8 whole peeled garlic cloves
- 6 green onions stems removed and roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped or pureed.
- Use as a marinade for your favorite meats, vegetables, and fish. You may also use it as a fresh topping.
Notes
- This seasoning will last in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze small portions of it. It will last in your freezer for up to 3 months.
- Use about 1 Tablespoon green seasoning for 1 lb of meat.
- I suggest adding a little oil to meat or fish when using it as a marinade.
- For a wetter more pureed seasoning, process until well blended. I like to keep mine a little chunky so I can also use it as a herb salsa.
