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
  • 3/4 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.
