Notes

Notes for Making Green Seasoning

  • If using a blender, add the onions at the bottom since they carry the most water. You will need little to no water for this recipe. 
  • Add one teaspoon of water if you want your marinade to get a less thick consistency.
  • Add other ingredients like cilantro, parsley, basil, celery, and pimento berries. 
  • If you prefer a spicier blend, add an extra scotch bonnet pepper or your choice of spicy pepper.
