Hi everyone, thank you all for your comments and for watching. A smaller batch is coming soon for those that don't cook as much as me. Hope all of you watch it. Thanks, and please stay safe.
That's why Euroamerican AKA latin American food is the best our heritage has a good blend we really put the herbs from the American mainland and europe to good use great video
Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe, which is very versatile and adaptable to practically anyone's cooking style or taste. I'm on a salt restricted diet, so I omit the salt and store my green seasoning in the freezer. I pour the freshly made mixture into ice trays and freeze. Once frozen, I place the seasoning ice cubes in ziplock plastic freezer bags and conveniently use them as needed, in whatever amount of cubes I need depending on whatever I am cooking at the moment.
I just want to say thank you so much for the green seasoning wow I made it today I'm going to put it on my roast tomorrow I appreciate you I really appreciate you thank you so much God bless you Sister thank you
I’ve been surfing TH-cam for green seasoning recipes and everyone was using celery and I’m not fond of celery and then boom 💥 you mentioned fennel!!! You completely read my mind!! Thank you 🙏🏾
A little bit of ginger helps wake up the flavor, and a freshly squeezed orange, instead of water. It adds on to the flavor, and helps preserve it as well.
Hello Beautiful Island girl, I purchased a large glass storage container with a bamboo lid and noticed it’s kept my green seasoning fresher for a longer period of time. Week 2 is when I usually begin to notice a change in colour with plastic containers. However with the glass container, the seasoning retains its vibrant colours past 4 weeks! I don’t like to freeze my seasoning because I’m always in a rush and the thawing process requires time and pre-planning. I’ve been trying to incorporate more ital meals into my diet, sometime my mom or sister are on board and other times they’re not. Certain days I’ll use more of the seasoning than usual depending on what I’m cooking and who I’m cooking for. The glass container has been a lifesaver, I can use as much or as little and not worry about it going bad.
Hi Tiffany..do thawing a frozen green seasoning is soooo easy..just make sure you freeze it ib ice crates..so you get cubes..then when you want to use it, just pop in the microwave for apbout 90 secs, depending on the quantity and you are good to go..!!)
Thank you so much for sharing educating and showing us your way of doing the green seasoning I look very forward to using the recipe very soon especially during the summer God bless you and yours stay safe stay healthy
I love your ingredient combinations and how you vary them slightly from time to time. I especially like your dry spice choices and that you include spice blends like adobo seasoning and garam masala. I can't wait to try this and experiment! 😀😀😀
Hunny, that's the most comprehensive seasoning I've seen so far, and I'm really interested in making it myself! Your explanation & tips were very helpful also. That's one mean seasoning! I can just imagine how your dishes taste 🤤 Oh, yeah, you're one beautiful black woman too; I love black women!
Thank you for watching. This is a very large amount you can reduce everything, to make a smaller batch if you like. You really can't mess it up once you put a variety as you see in the video. Your neighbors will come knocking from the smells that will leave your home.🥰 Please subscribe and share. May you and your loved ones stay safe.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 yes I love ❤️ it this is the second time myself making green seasoning but first time using your recipe but what I found so interesting is that how you change up the ingredients I’ve never cooked with fresh fennel before so next time I make green seasoning I’ll use fresh fennel also I’ve never seen dry spices in green seasoning I’ve looked at a lot of recipes but I love this one I can’t wait your ideas of changing it up is genius
When i make mine it lasted 8 months in the refrigerator and smelt as fresh and more pungent than when I made it. I don't think I put onions in BUT I DID ADD LEMON I THINK, I HAD IT FOR SO LONG I CAN'T REMEMBER all the ingredients I used. IT WAS AS PUNGENT AND FRESH AS WHEN I FIRST MADE IT. I put mine in a glass bottle, no plastic.
I literally put it in everything I cook. And with so many nutrition and vitamin my house never gets sick .thank God. And every meal is great.. meats, sides, even eggs. Have you made it.? You can make a smaller batch if this one is to.large.. but it's worth it. Thank you for watching and subscribing..
Oh nice.. do let me know how it comes out.. don't leave out the hot peppers when combined. It's not hot..just very flavorful..FYI.. excited for you. :-)
New to the Frankas family! 2 minutes in and I had to hit that subscribe button love love this video. I do my green seasoning just the same but I add ginger! Looking forward for more great videos💕💕💕
If you have time, when u buy meat before you freeze it . Clean, season and then freeze. It will save you so much time after work. You just take out a pack in the morning let it defrost and it will be all ready to go, I season a month of meat at a time. It's amazing and the seasoning soaks in even more.. thanks for watching.. wishing you and your family safe keeping during this time.
Also, take a look at the cleaning chicken video, at the beginning it will show u my freezer after a shopping trip and how to prepare for fast cooking.. hope it helps. :-).
I have a new recipe thanks to you. Wld have loved it if you had posted the list and amt of ingredients. Maybe you did post it and I missed it. I am def adding this to my electronic list to make on occasion. Im the type who cannot eat food that tastes the same every time… just me… being a New Yorker. Thanks so much fir sharing
Hi thank you for watching.. The dry ingredients are: adobo is the salt, turmeric, coriander, chilli pepper flakes, gram masala. I change my dry seasoning monthly also so use 4-6 that you like 1-2 tablespoon each.. just not to much salt.
Thank you.. you can reduce everything to make a smaller batch.. 2-3 different onions. Lots of garlic.. 2-3 different peppers and 2-3 green herbs and you have a smaller batch.. just get one of each.. except garlic.. this is a wonderful help to get the vitamins we need and kids will eat it.. thanks for watching.. I hope you subscribe..
Do you run a restaurant or have a big family? That’s a lot of green seasoning to use up in only a month. I freeze my extra and it last me for at least 7-10 months. I also haven’t seen anyone add dry seasonings so that is a good new tip for me. Thanks
@@frankasfabfamily2261 makes a ton of sense LOL I actually send some batches to my mom out of state too. I forgot I do that too. I don’t make half as much as you though. I’m glad I found your recipe though because I was always told not to add any seasoning. Your seasoning choices are all my kind of seasonings that cater to my taste buds. I can’t wait to make my next batch.
You can use a little vinegar, but to much will totally change the flavor. You can do the onions and celery first which are very juicy and strain it and us that liquid with a little water as possible. But yes a little vinegar is fine also
A couple of ingredients were left out when you were telling us what was on the second plate. You mentioned the cilantro when you were blending, but I don't know what that other green herb is. Can you post the ingredient list in the information section please? The recipe looks AMAZING, I can't wait to try it!
Have watched several videos, but this one is the one I'll make this weekend. If using glass jars for storage, do they need to be processed (sterilized) first will a good wash in the dishwasher work? Thanks!
A good clean is fine.. since the dishwasher water will be hot, thats good enough, Thanks.for watching.. It will also make you and your family healthier and stronger, as all those vitamins will boost your immune system while.making your meals super good.
Hello, Thank you for the amazing video. Do you have a video on how you season and prepare your chicken for freezing? I would love to see and learn about the next step in your process after making the seasoning. Thank you very much for this helpful video.
Oh thank you so much for watching.. yes if you look In the kitchen videos. There is one that I clean, season and bag the children.. check it out.. thank you for your lovely comments also.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 Lovely lady, as I read your comment I laughed hard because who seasons their children and bag them? I know it was a typo but I couldn’t stop laughing. I really loved this recipe. My husband is a black Trini and I am from Afghanistan. He says he loves afghan food specially my mom’s food among any other food that he tried from other countries but of course he grow up with the taste of Trini food and I know nothing about it. He orders from restaurants but he says it doesn’t have the taste he is expecting. After watching some videos I noticed Trinis use this mix for almost everything but among all the videos I really liked yours because of the extra information you gave which makes it easier for me to know and decide what to put in the green seasoning. Thank you
Thanks.. people might think it's to much hot pepper but is not...it goes well with the blend and adds flavor... I swear by this combination. Please let me know how yours come out . It's worth the effort.. thanks for watching. Hope you subscribe and give us a like. Stay safe.
@@MPDsQT1 hooray.. :-).. u can use it on side dishes, in your rice, even eggs and then you can add different spices like curry, or cumin to change the flavors but will always be very good. :-).. hope you subscribed.. please share :-).
@@MPDsQT1 I am doing a smaller version with different hot peppers very good also..it's coming soon.. you made me smile.. nothing like good food.. just a quick tip.. I usually will.buy my chicken and fish and meats and clean them all, section our portion sizes and season with the green gold and freeze.. so when you ready u just take out a pack ready to cook.. meat will be even better as the seasoning soaks in down to the bone..😍
Hi thanks for watching. Garam masala, it's a blend of spices usually found where Indian foods are. If you can't find it. You can do with out it. Just as good. The fresh greens are an immune booster as well.. my family thank God never really gets sick. And I know all of this natural ingredients in our daily diet is a big part of it. You can also season your side dishes with it.. let me know how it comes out.. :-).
I'd love to try this but would prefer to make a small test batch in case my family aren't into it. I love trying to combine world foods and seasonings into my own recipes as I find British food very boring and bland.
Yes, you can make a small batch. Try at least four different peppers any heat, two different onions, a handful of fresh garlic and add one herb, like parsley or celery or Cilantro. Or all three if your dear. But that will give u a small batch. Trust me they will love the freshness it adds to any dish. Would love to know how it comes out .
I so enjoyed this video, thank you for creating it! Would you have any starter recipes that you'd recommend for using this seasoning? Any books you'd recommend, or do you have recipes on your website? I would really love to learn more. I'm plant-based so any recipes that are heavy on the veggies would be great. Thanks again!
Hi thank you for watching... You can start this with your favorite protein. just place a spoonful or two in the meat, chicken or fish and then place in a hot pan with a little oil or bake. Add salt to taste . It makes a wonderful seasoned rice.. it can go in any cooked dish really.. beans, veggies just add some. You won't believe the flavors.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 wonderful thank you - I imagine, just since I'm starting out, I can make a smaller batch and wing it a bit? Will try to follow the proportions. Do you use it almost like a mirepoix at the beginning of the recipe (cooked, and then add rice) or just add it raw to a dish? Excited to try it!
I hope to make a smaller batch this weekend to post.. however here is one... 3 different onions, red, yellow , white 4 green herbs at least - celery, parsley, green onions, rosemary, oregano, sage(not a whole pack as sage is very strong) dill, fennel, thyme 1 Pack of mini sweet bell peppers - three colors 4 hot peppers,- serrano, jalapeno, chilli, something else.. or double one of the above..... These peppers are very hot alone, however not in seasoning, just added huge flavor. 2 heads of garlic Dried seasoning, at least four different ones you like. If you use direct salt about a 1/2 table spoon to start then taste and add accordingly. This will give you a decent batch. But amazing benefits and in fridge will last four weeks.. you can bag some and freeze will last some . months and you take out as you need.. freeze individual batch so you only defrost what you need. Note. Never put a wet spoon in fridge batch or a spoon that touched the food you are cooking as it will cause the seasoning to ferment and spoil.. always a dry clean spoon.. also.. when blending some water and olive oil.. to get the blender going.. some people use a food processor which is fine.. but it will be chunky which is ok also.. what ever you like. Hope this helps let me know. Good luck
@@frankasfabfamily2261 Thanks so much, this is very helpful! And great tip about the wet spoon too. Sillly question: do you think it would taste the same without the olive oil? Is it more for taste or texture? I try to limit oils, if I can, and stick to whole fats mostly. I appreciate your help, thanks so much! Do you have a website?
@@Littlebitesofjoy still.working on the website.. sorry.. no you don't have to use the oil, the oil and salt is the natural preservative, it stops it from.fermenting.. so cut everything in half.. so it should last with just water for two weeks or so.. or you can put a couple tablespoon of vinegar.. that will work also.. to make it last..
Hi.. oh you must store in the fridge or freezer. I usually clean and season my meats, chicken or fish then portion them out and freeze. It must be placed in the fridge or it will go bad. Thanks for watching. Stay safe. Please subscribe. :-).
For sure... Omg your chicken will even be better. I clean and marinade my chicken, fish and meat then freeze until ready to use. It's the best. It really is a green fresh seasoning base,. So healthy. Try it.. I promise you, you will love it . Let me know how it comes out. so gooooood. :-)🥰
Hi, the easy way is to season your rice water with it. Or you can sautee the seasoning in a little oil first, about a tea spoon oil and pot spoon seasoning.. cook that for a few minutes, add some beans and water for rice, taste season more and add rice.. it makes a yummy seasoned rice.. Hope that helps.
I know😭😭😭 very sorry.. I don't know how I missed that.. may have happened in edits. It really is. 🤦🏽♀️ Will fix that for sure in another video.. thank you for watching . I hope you subscribe, like and hit the notification bell. Really appreciate it. So much more in-store.
Thank you for watching.. you can preserve it in several ways.. get small freezer bags and section out and freeze it. Or In fridge for about a month it will stay good.. u can add about 1/2 apple cider vinegar and that will keep it to about 6-8 weeks . Never put a spoon that has touched anything in, not even water, dry spoon.. and lastest you can add more salt.. but I don't like that one as we all need to watch our salt intake... Hope this helps.
Thank you for watching.. I did use shadow Benny, however forgot to mention it but u can see it there in the beginning also, that is a must :-).. so sorry to kill you about the steak knife, it's just my hands are small and when I am cutting up so much, I find I can move much faster..Do forgive me will do better next.time.. hope you like and subscribe. Thank you for your comments and for watching again.
@@tiffanyg3584 Thanks Tiffany for your comments. May I encourage you to leave cilantro out of your green seasoning . My mom does not like it however, while licking her fingers when she visits, she never complains. Unfortunately I can't cook you a massive meal to try it one last time, so leave it out.. the seasoning is very good without it.. :-).. stay safe.
This video is brilliant I removed the cilantro, added pimento seeds & scotch bonnet peppers and used to it to help season curry goat. This was a life saver and was my best curry to date. I left Jamaica when I was two and food is a very important point of connection and bridge to my culture. I never knew we made green seasoning until watching this video and asking my mom about it. Thanks for the the video❤️ What Caribbean country are you from and what staple ingredients can be found in green seasoning from your country?
Ooo you made my day with your comment. I was born in Trinidad, but my parents are from Grenada and St. Vincent, I lived in the British Virgin islands for a long time.. I am a collector of culture and good food. This month my season was definitely Asian Jamaican.. I added Asian hot chili peppers and scotch bonnet peppers. I love big flavors so I love it all . Happy you found one that works for you.. please subscribe, like and share. Make sure to add a spoon or two to your rice and side dishes.. even eggs.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Franka's Fab Family you gained a new subbie after that goat. Definitely adding this marinade to everything, my boyfriend is going to be sick of me lol. You’re a true Caribbean girl through and though... keep up the good work!
@@tiffanyg3584 ooooso happy you love it.. everyone that has tried it feel the same way. Everytime u make it put your favorite peppers but try new ones. They change the flavor. My children use to think they don't eat veggies.. but with so much in that seasoning they were eating it all along. Do you know how to make the Jamaican coconut rice and peas?. Season the water with that, add a little sugar and Adobe.. omg best rice ever. I am glad you like it.. your boyfriend will be to happy as he will be eating well. Also if you have time clean and season your meat, portion it out and freeze for when you ready.. OMG the longer it sits on it.. even better.. thanks again for watching.. blessings.
Thank u for watching. .. I will get around to it.. soon and watch it and write out everything.... Will try in the next few days.. the world is crazy right now.🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Thank you.. you can reduce everything to make a smaller batch.. 2-3 different onions. Lots of garlic.. 2-3 different peppers and 2-3 green herbs and you have a smaller batch.. just get one of each.. except garlic.. this is a wonderful help to get the vitamins we need and kids will eat it.. thanks for watching..

Yes I put ginger and also lime or lemon
@@frankasfabfamily2261 Due to the presence of a chemical called phthalates in plastic, it's best to store in a glass jar.

Lovely lady, as I read your comment I laughed hard because who seasons their children and bag them? I know it was a typo but I couldn’t stop laughing.
I really loved this recipe. My husband is a black Trini and I am from Afghanistan. He says he loves afghan food specially my mom’s food among any other food that he tried from other countries but of course he grow up with the taste of Trini food and I know nothing about it. He orders from restaurants but he says it doesn’t have the taste he is expecting. After watching some videos I noticed Trinis use this mix for almost everything but among all the videos I really liked yours because of the extra information you gave which makes it easier for me to know and decide what to put in the green seasoning. Thank you
Wonderful presentation
I tried to make GS last year and found it bland. Now I see why, definitely going to try your recipe. Thank you!!
Thanks.. people might think it's to much hot pepper but is not...it goes well with the blend and adds flavor... I swear by this combination. Please let me know how yours come out . It's worth the effort.. thanks for watching. Hope you subscribe and give us a like. Stay safe.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 Made it and now I put that ish on everything. Not too spicy at all. Thank you so much for upping my game.
@@MPDsQT1 hooray.. :-).. u can use it on side dishes, in your rice, even eggs and then you can add different spices like curry, or cumin to change the flavors but will always be very good. :-).. hope you subscribed.. please share :-).
@@MPDsQT1 I am doing a smaller version with different hot peppers very good also..it's coming soon.. you made me smile.. nothing like good food.. just a quick tip.. I usually will.buy my chicken and fish and meats and clean them all, section our portion sizes and season with the green gold and freeze.. so when you ready u just take out a pack ready to cook.. meat will be even better as the seasoning soaks in down to the bone..😍
Hi are you still making it?. What have u cooked?
I put mines in an ice cube tray and then put it in a ziplock bag and take out the cubes as I need them. The same with chicken broth.
Great Idea, thank you for sharing.
Brilliant!!
Fantastic. Invest in a decent knife it will make your preparation a whole lot easier.
Thanks for the recipes sister
This looks delicious and I am going to try it as soon as possible…………Could you please tell me what gramsala is ?
Hi thanks for watching. Garam masala, it's a blend of spices usually found where Indian foods are. If you can't find it. You can do with out it. Just as good. The fresh greens are an immune booster as well.. my family thank God never really gets sick. And I know all of this natural ingredients in our daily diet is a big part of it. You can also season your side dishes with it.. let me know how it comes out.. :-).
AMAZINGGGG! 🤩
Please share your meal preps!!!
I have a few meal preps the how to clean your chicken video, the ribs with Luke, we are in black and white, the BBQ cornish hens recipe has some prep
Super
Nice video. Can I use avocado oil?.
Yes. Any good quality oil.. this seasoning is all about healthy eating..Thank you for watching
I'd love to try this but would prefer to make a small test batch in case my family aren't into it. I love trying to combine world foods and seasonings into my own recipes as I find British food very boring and bland.
Yes, you can make a small batch. Try at least four different peppers any heat, two different onions, a handful of fresh garlic and add one herb, like parsley or celery or Cilantro. Or all three if your dear. But that will give u a small batch. Trust me they will love the freshness it adds to any dish. Would love to know how it comes out .
@@frankasfabfamily2261 thank you so much!!! Will be trying this next week!!!!! Stay safe. :)
@@freetobeme6013, they won't even know. They'll just think you've been marinating with some goodness. I hope you tried it.
Do you sell and ship your green seasoning
Sorry I don't.. . I have some local clients, but they are friends and neighbors.. sorry.. :-).
How long can you store Caribbean Green Seasoning in the fridge?
I store for up to a month.. it's usually finish by then.. never put a Wet or used spoon in it and keep it tight.
I would love to have the recipe of the Powder season you use
Thank you for watching.. I will post that soon and let you know
You are soo beautiful. and natural black.
I so enjoyed this video, thank you for creating it! Would you have any starter recipes that you'd recommend for using this seasoning? Any books you'd recommend, or do you have recipes on your website? I would really love to learn more. I'm plant-based so any recipes that are heavy on the veggies would be great. Thanks again!
Hi thank you for watching... You can start this with your favorite protein. just place a spoonful or two in the meat, chicken or fish and then place in a hot pan with a little oil or bake. Add salt to taste . It makes a wonderful seasoned rice.. it can go in any cooked dish really.. beans, veggies just add some. You won't believe the flavors.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 wonderful thank you - I imagine, just since I'm starting out, I can make a smaller batch and wing it a bit? Will try to follow the proportions. Do you use it almost like a mirepoix at the beginning of the recipe (cooked, and then add rice) or just add it raw to a dish? Excited to try it!
I hope to make a smaller batch this weekend to post.. however here is one...
3 different onions, red, yellow , white
4 green herbs at least - celery, parsley, green onions, rosemary, oregano, sage(not a whole pack as sage is very strong) dill, fennel, thyme
1 Pack of mini sweet bell peppers - three colors
4 hot peppers,- serrano, jalapeno, chilli, something else.. or double one of the above..... These peppers are very hot alone, however not in seasoning, just added huge flavor.
2 heads of garlic
Dried seasoning, at least four different ones you like.
If you use direct salt about a 1/2 table spoon to start then taste and add accordingly.
This will give you a decent batch. But amazing benefits and in fridge will last four weeks.. you can bag some and freeze will last some . months and you take out as you need.. freeze individual batch so you only defrost what you need. Note. Never put a wet spoon in fridge batch or a spoon that touched the food you are cooking as it will cause the seasoning to ferment and spoil.. always a dry clean spoon.. also.. when blending some water and olive oil.. to get the blender going.. some people use a food processor which is fine.. but it will be chunky which is ok also.. what ever you like. Hope this helps let me know. Good luck
@@frankasfabfamily2261 Thanks so much, this is very helpful! And great tip about the wet spoon too. Sillly question: do you think it would taste the same without the olive oil? Is it more for taste or texture? I try to limit oils, if I can, and stick to whole fats mostly. I appreciate your help, thanks so much! Do you have a website?
@@Littlebitesofjoy still.working on the website.. sorry.. no you don't have to use the oil, the oil and salt is the natural preservative, it stops it from.fermenting.. so cut everything in half.. so it should last with just water for two weeks or so.. or you can put a couple tablespoon of vinegar.. that will work also.. to make it last..
Is it better to store in or out of the fridge?
Hi.. oh you must store in the fridge or freezer. I usually clean and season my meats, chicken or fish then portion them out and freeze. It must be placed in the fridge or it will go bad. Thanks for watching. Stay safe. Please subscribe. :-).
Heyah sister, can i marinade my chicken with this and some sweet soya and let my chicken sit overnight?
For sure... Omg your chicken will even be better. I clean and marinade my chicken, fish and meat then freeze until ready to use. It's the best. It really is a green fresh seasoning base,. So healthy. Try it.. I promise you, you will love it . Let me know how it comes out. so gooooood. :-)🥰
Thanks so much. What is in the spice mix?
Thanks for watching.. will get those details to you shortly..
How would you use this to cook Rice?
Hi, the easy way is to season your rice water with it. Or you can sautee the seasoning in a little oil first, about a tea spoon oil and pot spoon seasoning.. cook that for a few minutes, add some beans and water for rice, taste season more and add rice.. it makes a yummy seasoned rice.. Hope that helps.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 thank you so much ❤ i will def use it to season the water 🤣🤣
@@Food4Taught let me know how it comes out.. :-)
You didn't mention the most important Shadow Benny after you talked about the jalapeno.
I know😭😭😭 very sorry.. I don't know how I missed that.. may have happened in edits. It really is. 🤦🏽♀️ Will fix that for sure in another video.. thank you for watching . I hope you subscribe, like and hit the notification bell. Really appreciate it. So much more in-store.
How would you preserve this ?
Thank you for watching.. you can preserve it in several ways.. get small freezer bags and section out and freeze it. Or In fridge for about a month it will stay good.. u can add about 1/2 apple cider vinegar and that will keep it to about 6-8 weeks . Never put a spoon that has touched anything in, not even water, dry spoon.. and lastest you can add more salt.. but I don't like that one as we all need to watch our salt intake... Hope this helps.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 thank you so much for your reply and for your videos.stay blessed and safe 🙏🏾❤️
Why is there not list tho
No Cilantro?? or Shadow Benny (Razor Cilantro)?? Cilantro is a must for me in everything.
Thank you for watching.. I did use shadow Benny, however forgot to mention it but u can see it there in the beginning also, that is a must :-).. so sorry to kill you about the steak knife, it's just my hands are small and when I am cutting up so much, I find I can move much faster..Do forgive me will do better next.time.. hope you like and subscribe. Thank you for your comments and for watching again.
No matter how little cilantro is added to a dish, I can ALWAYS detect it. Needless to say cilantro is my least favorite herb
@@tiffanyg3584 Thanks Tiffany for your comments. May I encourage you to leave cilantro out of your green seasoning . My mom does not like it however, while licking her fingers when she visits, she never complains. Unfortunately I can't cook you a massive meal to try it one last time, so leave it out.. the seasoning is very good without it.. :-).. stay safe.
Right
It has shadow Benny.. sorry..loads.
This video is brilliant I removed the cilantro, added pimento seeds & scotch bonnet peppers and used to it to help season curry goat. This was a life saver and was my best curry to date.
I left Jamaica when I was two and food is a very important point of connection and bridge to my culture. I never knew we made green seasoning until watching this video and asking my mom about it. Thanks for the the video❤️
What Caribbean country are you from and what staple ingredients can be found in green seasoning from your country?
Ooo you made my day with your comment. I was born in Trinidad, but my parents are from Grenada and St. Vincent, I lived in the British Virgin islands for a long time.. I am a collector of culture and good food. This month my season was definitely Asian Jamaican.. I added Asian hot chili peppers and scotch bonnet peppers. I love big flavors so I love it all . Happy you found one that works for you.. please subscribe, like and share. Make sure to add a spoon or two to your rice and side dishes.. even eggs.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Franka's Fab Family you gained a new subbie after that goat. Definitely adding this marinade to everything, my boyfriend is going to be sick of me lol. You’re a true Caribbean girl through and though... keep up the good work!
@@tiffanyg3584 ooooso happy you love it.. everyone that has tried it feel the same way. Everytime u make it put your favorite peppers but try new ones. They change the flavor. My children use to think they don't eat veggies.. but with so much in that seasoning they were eating it all along. Do you know how to make the Jamaican coconut rice and peas?. Season the water with that, add a little sugar and Adobe.. omg best rice ever. I am glad you like it.. your boyfriend will be to happy as he will be eating well. Also if you have time clean and season your meat, portion it out and freeze for when you ready.. OMG the longer it sits on it.. even better.. thanks again for watching.. blessings.
U
Dried pimento berries or even the ripe ones.
Give me the full list of ingrédients used pls
Can you send me what you used please
Thank u for watching. .. I will get around to it.. soon and watch it and write out everything.... Will try in the next few days.. the world is crazy right now.🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I really thought I could get around to itemize this for you but have not yet. But will try in the coming.
No tomato 🍅.???
Tomatoes would ferment and the seasoning would not last.. however, on the day you are cooking add tomatoes... It's a wonderful addition of flavor.
@@frankasfabfamily2261 ok understood. Thanks
Trinidad and Tobago version:
Thyme;
Broadleaf or Spanish thyme;
Culantro (NOT cilantro);
Chinese celery;
Green onions;
Pimento peppers;
Onions.....
Cvcv I
What does that mean?.
That is alot
Thank you.. you can reduce everything to make a smaller batch.. 2-3 different onions. Lots of garlic.. 2-3 different peppers and 2-3 green herbs and you have a smaller batch.. just get one of each.. except garlic.. this is a wonderful help to get the vitamins we need and kids will eat it.. thanks for watching.. I hope you subscribe..
