Caribbean Green Seasoning

This right here is the Trini secret to making delicious food with a kick! The main herb in this seasoning is Shadon Beni (Bandhanya, Culantro or Recao) and it has a distinct taste which helps us create tasty and flavorful dishes. It is similar to cilantro so this can be substituted if you can't find it.
This seasoning is a staple in Caribbean homes and is used to season just about anything. Meats, fish and vegetables all pair up perfectly with this herb blend. It has a spicy kick due to the addition of hot peppers but this is totally optional if you can't handle it. You can use a much milder pepper such as pimento or Serrano peppers.
Try it and tell me what you think.

we make something similar in barbados. when i make a big batch like yours i put it into the old fashioned ice cube trays and freeze it. i then put those cube in a zip lock bag and when i need the seasoning for a recipe then i just remove as many blocks as i need. love your videos btw.
+babs Thanks so much for watching! I think i'm going to start doing that as well, thanks for the tip!
+babs awesome tip thx
That's a good idea never thought of freezing it in cubes .tnx for sharing
I keep returning to this video as my go to recipe for green seasoning. Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos, here's my tip, put green seasoning in zip lock bag, press out air, zip bag, flatten zipped bag, freeze, when you need some seasoning, unzip break off what you need, zip back up return to freezer. You can make a large batch fill several bags, follow the instructions stack several filled bags, and the zipper does not stick after opening a frozen bag, will zip up tight. I usually make up bags, freezeand give to a friend of 2.
Ronnie Cobb i try to freeze them into cubes then put them into a zip lock bag.
Thank you so much I was looking for this recepie since a long time now, I am from colombia but i lived there for about 6 years and i miss alot my triny food. greetings from Colombia
So glad I found your channel.. Surinamese people are in absolute love with Trini food..
I am Surinamee and we make our aloo pie a little differently.. there is lots of bandhanya here..
Thank you so much .for sharing your recipes..
+Sattvika Sewgobind Wow nice! Didn't know you guys liked Trini food. Thank you so much for watching! Hope you are happy with how the dishes turn out when you try it! :)
Yes! Will try for sure..
We do the same in the Haitian culture. we call it apiece, which means spice sauce in Creole, but I will defiantly add Shadon Beni and see what flavor it gives. I love your videos. I have made great Trini dishes with your videos : )
In Jamaica I can't find Shadon Beni ,what can I use as a substitute?
ONeil Buchanan might be called culantro but you can substitute it for cilantro
Thank you for this video. I'm half Trinidadian and no longer in New York near my family from Trinidad. I've always seen this seasoning in the kitchen but never made it. He told me over the phone but I can understand him over the phone only in person lol. This is by far the season on earth and thanks for the video, it was very helpful.
Girl, I'm so glad I bounce up on your channel. Thank you for making these videos!
I put bell peppers and onion in mine! I use puerton rican sweet peppers and salt! Learned from my momma!
Hi, wow just two days ago my co-worker send me a pic of a bottle of her Trinidad green seasoning and also her chicken that she will be using her season. I asked her to give me the ingredients so I can try it, I'm from Jamaica. She didn't tell me😥so thank God I saw your channel. lol.......I will try this tomorrow. Thanks so much!!
Awww, well I'm happy you found the recipe. Now you can send her a pic of your green seasoning lol You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out!
We call it Sofrito in Puerto Rico. instead of hot peppers we use small sweet peppers called acitos and cabenelle peppers and lots less water. It sure does wake up the flavor in any savory recipe 👍👍👍👍👍👍
+Saby Soto Wow! Yes, when I buy empanadas, I usually get sofrito with it and it is sooo yummy!
Saby Soto I love it all!
Sofrito in the VI and just seasoning in general!
Taste of Trini empanadas are called Pate in the VI!
@@moriahjohnthejohnsons718 Peace to my Cruzan family love from 804
My mom cooks hers and puts salt to help preserve it. It stays good in the fridge for a long time. Also, she does not use lime juice or vinegar. She does this so we can put the green seasoning in callaloo without it separating!
haha "try it, it will change your life" lol its so true. it has changed many lives
I enjoy your videos.The dishes are just the way I was introduced to Trinidadian cuisine and I love the food. I am now cook Caribbean dishes and green seasoning is absolutely essential. I will use the ice tray for longterm keeping and refrigerator storage for immediate use. Please keep making your videos. Your voice is comforting and your instruction informative. Thank you.
I made some the other day it is so good I just made this potato puffs with it omg this is the greatest stuff on earth thank you so much
+david cobb Awesome! Thanks for watching and trying out the recipe!
learning so much from you I can't wait until I make my first batch
+david cobb Glad you're learning a lot!
Thank you for posting Your version of green seasoning.
No prob
I'm getting everything and making this on Thursday.
Thanks for sharing I love trying new things and this seasoning looks great.
I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos.
The street food in Trinidad is akin to indian roots like puri chole etc. Even mauritius street foods are almost like trinidad street foods.
In mauritius, you see a guy with bicycle selling dholl purie around the street corners. Behind his biks is a small glass steel trunk which is a mini restaurant by itself.
Your country is greattt....i wish i cud visit but due to the constraints of distance.
best regards
LBV PRASAD
INDIA
Lbv Prasad we also have guys in bicycles selling food but mainly “doubles “
I mince mines in a food processor no water added, I add piece of ginger and green tomato also great seasoning for everything..great video thank you xo
+Deianeira Kitteh Nice to hear different variations! Thanks for watching!
+Deianeira Kitteh yes, great idea, I was thinking of adding a little Spanish Thyme.
You can cook so well, I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers! I share your videos with my friends all the time 😊 Hey can you make hot pepper sause next please?
I have a pepper sauce recipe on my channel already. Thanks for sharing. I'm not the type who is obsessed with subscribers. I am just happy my videos are helpful to some people.
This is a must have for Any and All trini dishes!
Great instructions, easy to follow and nice and flavorful.
I omitted the Recao sadly because by NYC American family do no like the taste.
I love it though, this seasoning also goes great with some Mango Chow.
Great video, thank you
where do you find the recao in nyc?
+rosey rosay Key food or any West Indian store. Apna Bazaar on Liberty Ave has it the cheapest.
Thanks love
thanks for the videos, I do a lot of cooking now because your recipes, they are very tasteful. good job 😉
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it
I do a similar sauce inspired from my region; but with green chillies, ginger, garlic, coriander, lemon & salt.
Terrific...Thank you 🙏🏻🙋🏻♂️
You’re a true trini ,, clean clean clean all foods lol love the video
Hey only started watching your videos this morning ,totally hooked for I love to cook one thing when I do my seasonings I add a little water with some of the seasonings,strain it and do the rest with strained water instead of using a lot of water that's just me but as I said loving your videos
After 4yrs this is still my go to just to make sure I don't miss any ingredients 😉
II like it we also make something similar here in Panamá but not so spicy...culantro is used in almost all our food...saludos desde Panamá
I just had banhdanya seasoning for the first time and it is mouth watering...mmmm...the smell gets those salivary glands going :) my boyfriend's mom made it.
Wow awesome! Once you start eating it, you'll be addicted 😉
*Once you start eating foods that consist of it I mean lol
+Taste of Trini yes, it's true, I was eating it on the side of my food and would mix it as I ate 😛
gul you ah have a doubles video, I could never have any ah them trini food over here watching your curry goat video Make mah miss them Home food.
Good old Trini Pepper shrimp.I add Green Peppers n slices of carrots in my pepper shrimp.
Happy cooking dear..well done
This doubles as a weapon! Wow, you could barely breathe! Looks delicious though!!
I shall absolutely be making this to go with the shrimp pies made by my new good friend Pete Thomas :)
Thanks for sharing, I am enjoying it. Nothing like Trini food.
No prob! Yes, definitely!
Thank you. Enjoy looking at the food you cook. I will them them.
Thanks for watching :)
love her accent
I will try to use more green seasoning in my cooking thanks
+leon persaud No problem! Thanks for watching!
Shadon beni gives food a really nice flavour! It's not very common in Barbados but it's nice in doubles and Alou Pie
Thank u miss Trini for sharing. Will try with a little less pepper.
Thanks for watching, and trying the recipes :)
Good stuff I add oil instead of water yummy I love it on everything meat, fish,seafood and raw in a fresh salad for flavor yummy 😋😋 I freeze in ice cubes and a little in the refrigerator.
Great stuff, thanks a lot for sharing. If I may suggest :) ....it would be nice if ingredients were introduced without too much side tracking - that would be good later on while presenting recipe.
The pepper with seeds and all, not many people can take that but it looks nice. I will take out the seeds of the pepper and make this recipe for sure cause the shadow benie I don]t see to often where I live. Thanks.
I make it over here in the USA Trini style, but I make mine a bit hot and spicy I put deferent spices ,got to try it your way
hello jus a suggestion instead of water use the same amount of lime juice
Jahmin Maximin Soleyn i actually use lime juice also but i use a juicer and juice the whole lime about 4
Aye u is ah true trini girl.... great seasoning to cook
Ok Noww. I'm from NYC also. We can find any and everything here...
Did you use thyme stems too? And how long does it last in the fridge or has to be in freezer?
I am sorry, just a newbie at cooking good good. :)
Great video. Seasoning turned out very flavorful...
Giwwe a Nice flavorful Pepper Sauce recipe nah, I fed up buying mass produced pepper sauce from liberty Avenue, which is mostly filled with vinegar and pepper extract.
+Vincent2wice Glad to hear it. I waiting to go Trini in a month and i'll make a real Trini pepper sauce using authentic ingredients!
+Taste of Trini Yay. Great. Looking forward to it.
P.S. There is a Roti shop called " Singh's Roti shop"
located at 13118 Liberty Ave, Jamaica, NY 11419
They sell a small bottle of Scorpion Pepper Sauce for about $10
it is SPICY and Flavorful, check it out! 2 Drops of this hot sauce and you food is on fire.
Vincent2wice hey, yeah I know them, they're family lol
I have a lot of those pepper sauces ...I eat it with everything. I don't buy it here though, I usually bring back when I go trini. It's 30TT-5US ..everything here is too overpriced
Yaaay Skyrim!
Ah like yuh style "gyal" 😀. Subscribed!
+HammRtrini Thank you!
i'm trying this right know so hopefully it comes out well
I make sofrito ..im willing to try one hot pepper 3stalions. Because i use it for yellow rice . i dont want my rice spicy i will try this for jerk chicken trini stew chicken .. Im puerto rican .. My husband is from trinidad. My two sons would love me to mix my recipe with yours .. We dont. Use water at all spanish onions have water..
Lots of from New york
Sounds like you were struggling towards the end there with the blended scotch bonnets (5 after-all!!!)they can be really overwhelming. The pimentos are a real rarity here in Europe, although I can find them from time to time.
Thanks for posting and keep those recipies coming :D
+Adron Goddard Yeah, couldn't take it anymore lol Thanks so much for watching! :)
Just made some very nice thx for the video
No daughter in my life .. Your parents should be grateful - my loss😢
very nice video, just 2 suggestions, use the medium size processor jar (it holds a lot, stuff the jar with the ingredients) on a NINJA no liquid needed or very little, a few pulses and it's chopped, done, finished, if you want it finer tap a few more times, it'll be liquid, I don't like it so finely chopped. Freeze in a zip lock bag, flatten out the seasoning in the bag first, it'll be easier to break off as much as you need, zip back up without defrosting the whole bag or having to chip it out of a container.
+Ronnie Cobb Thank you! Will try this method. Thanks for watching!
I concur
Where you shop for Bandanya? I can't seem to find it in the groceries where I shop.
+Sarah Elizabeth Where do you live? Most likely you'll find it in a West Indian or Spanish store. It may be called culantro, recao, shadon beni, dhania or bandanya
I find mine in a Spanish grocery store called Fiesta in TX. They call it culantro. Hope that helps yuh :)
+Taste of Trini It can also be found at Asian supermarkets as "ngo gai."
Sarah Elizabeth I know it has a scientific name. Possibly Shadon bene. never did check it out. It grows wild all over my yard in Trinidad. Where ever you live, there will always someone who can obtain or import it
HI i just made batch of this super hot :) but i was wondering how come you did not put any onion? i added to mine but i will add more chives to cut the pepper as it is too sharp what are your thoughts?
Hi, i saw on amazon a place selling a pepper called: Pimientos de Padrón. Would these be similar to our Trinidad pimento peppers?
I come back to this video every time I make curry chicken 😂. Clearly I don't remember the ingredients.
In Jamaica I can't find Shadon Beni ,what can I use as a substitute??
i goin an make my batch now. i got 6 small hot pepper ah playin brave. lol...im adding an onion before it go bad
Lol sounds good
storing it in plastic will make it spoil faster. you really should be using a glass mason jar. It will stay fresher longer.
Yes, I store it in glass now. I have to update this recipe
Taste of Trini thats wondeful. thanks for sharing all these wonderful recipes. absolutely love your channel. I'm vegetarian and Ive been gettinh great ideas from u
Can you make a chicken roti video?
Love your VIDs - Do you make and sell this green seasoning? - Im in the UK but get this ??shadow bennie?? here.
Very beautiful. New subscriber :)
+SimplyKaren28 Thanks hun! :)
Can u put spinach in with it?
So you have any thyme for me
bella¡¡¡¡¡¡
You so lucky you could get shadowbenny in London here we trinis suffering for that here
How long does it last in the fridge if you don't cook often?
Dell Chica I'll give it a week, tops. You can also freeze them in ice cubes and pop a few out when you're ready to use them 🙂
Taste of Trini thank you!
OOPS! just saw my comment from a year ago, sorry I sent it again. I still love your videos and subscribed for any new ones..
Ronnie Cobb That's fine, thank you for watching ☺☺
Hi; is there anything I can add to it to keep it lasting longer in the refrigerator?
Hi! You can blend with oil and it will last. Check out @CaribbeanPot. He explains how to blend with oil for it to last long.
where can i find those pimento peppers in nyc?
Caribbean Rebel_809 chinese fruit stand
hi Natasha, what can i use as substitute if i cant find the bandanya to make the green seasoning?
Ambedkar Mahadeo she said in the video you can use cilantro in place of it 😕
Would it make a huge difference if I decide to leave out the garlic and use onion instead? I can't eat garlic!
bahiyyah19 Hey, yes you can but it won't last very long because onion tends to spoil quickly. Maybe make a small batch or just omit both garlic and onion
Hey there pretty, where do you buy the Shado Beni in NY?
+maggie murgu hey, I get it on Liberty Ave in Queens
my mommy does it just like that.
+Shirnequa Williams Nice! True trini!
Wer is the celery and ginger?
You can cook and you are beautiful. 😚
I made such a large amount of green seasoning, pepper sauce and tamarind chutney, I live alone and it will take me forever to use it all. Can I freeze any of these? Thanks again!
You can't definitely freeze the tamarind chutney and green seasoning. If you put vinegar or any types of preserving agents in the pepper sauce then you can leave that in the fridge.
Thanks again! Keep the videos coming! Love them! Can't wait for the chataigne!
I have tasted culantro in the US and I find it does be missing that strong flavor like chadon beni...I don't know prob just me.
Yes girl, same here. Everything is better back home. The culantro we get in the US comes from Guatemala and Mexico
do you know another name for pimento peppers? i can't find them anywhere
+j lynn The name is also Capsicum chinense. Try maybe a Spanish store where you live.
Miss the flavours when i travel
+Yohan “Yofoot” Partap Yup it's always better in Trini.
The swamp died in Chiney?
how long will the seasoning last in the refrigerator?
1 week
What market do you shop at in ny? Are you near Brooklyn?
bahiyyah19 hey, I shop in Liberty Ave. Take the A train to Lefferts Blvd and get off at the last stop. There's so many markets
Love your videos, but please get a small, portable tripod.
Its nice i am food man like to try different dishes. So how do I get this clintano in ( shando beni) UK?
That’s a quart container. A quart is 4 cups. Your recipe yields 3c it’s seems. No hate just an fyi
hiya if any time u coming to the UK can you bring me some shadow bennie for me please
Yes of course!
Every one can make green seasoning it is bandania.
Where ginger, big leaf time and a lil rosemary 🤧
Good recipe but you can do it without music, it does not add anything and often covers your voice.
Sharon Beni and other types do not taste the same as before. Seasonings are tasteless. Perhaps something is wrong with my taste buds.
do you have black in you?
+Mike Mike Nope, don't think so.
+Taste of Trini does adding vinegar make it last longer?
+Trini Vegan Yes but it will give the food a different taste, so I don't suggest that
Don't we all?
🇬🇧 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
No cloves and I don't see the thyme includes. No sweet belle red green and yellow peppers. My Trinidad friends love my seasons.
+Amelie Julien Trinis make their seasonings differently but i'm sure yours is amazing as well.
Yes my Trinidad friends give up theirs for my. It tastes so good. I know and I want to tell you I just made cassava pone.
+Amelie Julien I will try it your way one day, awesome! Enjoy the pone ☺
Taste of Trini I don’t like cloves, glad your green seasoning don’t need it. Plus it taste like the one I get from my Trini friend.But I am sure everyone makes theirs nice and delicious to their taste 😋
