Green Seasoning

  Green seasoning is one of those herb mixtures that is unique to the Caribbean and differs slightly from island to island. It is used in a huge number of Trinidadian dishes. In Trinidad, it's distinguished by the use of a local herb called shado beni (culantro). Fresh shado beni can sometimes be found in West Indian markets, but if not, fresh cilantro is a good substitute.

  

Ingredients

Makes 1 cup

  3 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives

  1 Tbsp. chopped fresh shado beni or cilantro leaves

  2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme

  1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano

  1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

  4 cloves garlic

  

Step 1

Process all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture forms a thick paste. (Alternatively, process in a blender with 2 Tbsp. vinegar.)

  

Step 2

Use immediately, or store in a tightly sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
