Have you ever made a recipe and thought, “Something is missing.”? I know I have. That’s when I grab a jar of ready-made seasoning or spice mix. I ask myself what mood I’m in and then reach for the herbs or spices that come to my brain first. And one of those options is this fabulous green seasoning. This version of green seasoning is a marriage of various herbs like basil, parsley, celery, thyme, rosemary, garlic, onion, green onion, and habanero. Most people include cilantro or culantro for a Caribbean green seasoning. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. You be the boss!
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Green Seasoning
Grind – Puree all the ingredients in a food processor or blender into a fine paste. You might have to do this in batches. If using a blender, add as little water as possible to facilitate blending. If using a food processor, you don’t need liquid. (Photos 1-7) Store it in glass jars with airtight lids in the fridge. If not using it within a couple of days, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it. After the cubes are completely frozen, take them out of the tray and store them in ziplock bags for 3-6 months. Thaw before using unless they’re going in a soup or stew. (Photos 8-10)
Tips and Tricks
Make-Ahead Instructions
You can make green seasoning for up to two days before using it if you store it in the fridge. Or you can freeze the seasoning into an ice cube tray. When the seasoning is completely frozen, remove the cubes and store them in ziplock freezer bags for 3-6 months. Thaw the cubes if using them as a marinade, but it’s not necessary if adding them to soups and stews.
Recipe Variations
How to Use Green Seasoning
Use green seasoning to flavor all your favorite meats. I love it on chicken and often add it to fish in banana leaves. It’s also delicious in rice dishes, pasta, meat, fish, soups, and stews. Try adding a cube to albondigas soup or oxtail soup to up your flavor game.
