10 + Tips For Perfect Caribbean Green Seasoning | CaribbeanPot.com 

Also if anyone is looking for culantro / shado beni, sometimes at Asian markets it's called either: Ngò Gai or Sawtooth Coriander. Most stores that carry southeast asian ingredients will have it, it's common in Vietnamese food.

I’m Jamaican and I use scotch bonnet in my green seasoning instead of wiri wiri pepper I love the flavour it adds... I don’t use the seeds tho, I take the seeds out and use about 3-4 medium sized peppers. I live a little north of Barrie & shado benni is sometimes tricky to find so one day I went to the Asian market and found some, so I got extra and I planted it and it rooted really easily. Now I have a nice patch of shado benni growing and I don’t need to worry about buy any. It’s grows like a weed!

I usually use vinegar when preparing my seasonings. I also like mixing scotch bonnet peppers and sweet pepper or Italian sweet peppers. Next time I make my seasonings, I'm going to try your method.

Just back from the store to get what I needed. Thanks for the great videos Chris! I work at a youth detention centre near Montreal and I made our boys some Jerk chicken and rice and peas using your recipes and advice. The boys were very happy! keep up the great work brudda!

a little ginger root is good too

nice vid ,when i grind my seasoning i place it into ice cube trays and freeze it so taht when iam cooking i will use 1-2 cubes according to what iam making

Time for another batch. I made this green seasoning and it is AMAZING!! I agree that the Olive oil just sets it off!!! I find myself using green seasoning on things I never thought I would...like eggs. The family LOVES my "green eggs"!! I freeze into cubes and use as needed. So happy to have found your recipe.

Nice. Green is the go to colour for technology these days. Green seasoning gone green donkey years now. Talk about being ahead of the game. Nuff ole talk. Your recipe for green seasoning real good. So good, I pass it on to others in d family ; by way of pointing them in the direction of your video .

Watch nah uncle Chris, without your channel ah doh know what muh food would like nah! Thank yuh ever so much fuh blessing us with your exquisite recipes and cooking skills

I'm in Brooklyn NY and use everything you have but celery and wiri wiri peppers, instead I use scotch bonnet without seeds. I am going to add olive oil this time.

Uncle Chris in my opinion you should try storing it in a Glass cntainer instead of plastic. I'm going to try using olive oil in mine. I've always used used a little onion in mine stored it in the fridge and has never gone bad. Love your channel. 😋

Fortunately for me, I'm able to get just about everything shown here. The only ones I can't find are the unripe pimento & riri. I get that yellow one, but I'm not sure what it's called. I also use scotch bonnet and/or habanero. I use another pepper that looks similar to scotch, called ajicito, (ah-he-see-toe) in Spanish. It gives great flavor, but without all the heat. I use onion now, but as mentioned, it does cut back on the shelf life - so the big container stays in the fridge until needed. Some of us Haitians add cloves while blending/processing & some add it directly to the meat being seasoned or dish being cooked. Some also use sweet green peppers, as well, for added flavor & majority of us use parsley over cilantro. I happen to love both, & thankfully, cilantro doesn't taste like soap to anyone in my family! My mom is old fashioned & likes to make hers fresh, using only the motor & pestle! Her recipe is simple, but very potent: a stalk or 2 of green onion, some whole peppercorns, whole clove (3-4), like half of a scotch (whew) & 2-3 garlic gloves. My eyes are usually watering when I make it, lol. I've substituted the cloves for a few allspice berries here & there, also excellent.

Since after you did the last video about using the olive oil it’s a must for us home now. I find it taste better and last longer. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹

I really like that fresh green combi. Looks like a sort of rich chuckney. Great tips Chris. Many thank iry

I just moved from Munich, Germany to Vienna, Austria , and the hunt for shadowbenni is still a big fail. Definitely been looking for a green seasoning recipe, so seeing this popup is bliss. Lovin the work man.

Nice seeing you!😅 and i will def do this ..I'm Caribbean as well🥂🌴🇸🇽

Thanks for this Green Seasoning Recipe! I went to the grocery store yesterday and saw the pre- made kind on shelf after viewing the looks of it and ingredients I came to your channel for recipe to make it fresh. I made a nice size batch and jarred it. Can’t wait to use in my stewed chicken tomorrow.

I made green seasoning in November 2020. I wanted to make some Jamican oxtails. I marinated the oxtails overnight in the green seasoning. They were simply declious.

Just tried this....LOVE LOVE LOVE it ❤️❤️❤️

This recipe is better than the on you make the first time

Thank you so much for sharing how you make the green seasoning. I will try.❤❤

Thank you.

Thanks Chris, Lovely to see you

I really do like ur cooking

Can you do a video making doubles. I love doubles, not enough Trinidad restaurants here in America only New York.

I usually buy green seasonings here in Toronto but your method looks easy and I am sure without pressureative. Is there another name for pimento perpers.?

Question. Can you add salt and or vinegar to maintain freshness if you don't want it stored in the fridge?

I am so glad you made this video.👍👍

Can I please have a list of all the seasonings you used....I am in the USA and may not be able to get all the ingredients. Thanks do much.

Shado beni is also called recao in North American Spanish places

Great video. Thanks 😀

I love this stuff! I add some ingredients to mine which would probably make you balk but the chadon beni/culantro (sawtooth coriander down here in Australia) and thyme are definite musts for me. Will definitely use olive oil next time as I think that's a great idea.

I normally make a lovely seasoning but i use vinegar to blend so i'll have to try you try your method.

Hi I just subscribed too you. Thanks for recipe. Im going to by your cookbook. But next month after my bills are piad I will be treating myself too your cookbook. So curious too see all them good recipes. THAT BOOK BETTER DELIVER MAN !!!!!!!!!! YOUR RECIPES IS ON THE MONEY SO I HOPE I SEE SOME OF THEM ALSO IN YOUR COOKBOOK.

Thank you Chef Chris #caribbeanpot for your video. You gave some important information. You said to use the fresh vegetables from your region and to use what you like. It’s smells so beautiful. I jarred half and froze half. AGAIN, THANK YOU. There’s a picture on my video page. I thanked you there as well.

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing cool recipes.

Hi good day. Will the lemon juice help keep it lasting longer in the refrigerator or just the olive oil?

Well done as usual sir. Thank you for this.

Good afternoon messaging you from guyana what can I use to preserve my green seasoning

Great recipe! Thank you. Can you spell the name you're saying for the small pepper? I'm not Caribbean, but curious of this might be a pepper I know by another name and can access here. I like my seasoning blends somewhat chunky too, and I use the citrus or vinegar as well like your mom

Chris, thank you so much.

"youa, ire up all u self nah" 😂😂😂😂I'm learning Trini. This for the green update🤗

Hey Chris what about shallots? I used them n got a great flavour

Great Job Chris! Love de greet seasoning.

Really nice Chris thx for the Post🖒🖒

The recipe looks incredible. I need to make this, love the ingredients

Basil and broad leaf thyme ☺

Thank you for sharing this chris ☺

Thanks Chris, I made this it's great! Food taste wikkid

Looks😍😍😍 I'm going to try this with scotch bonnet peppers but what can I use in replacement of the pimento peppers?

I love your videos. Ty. Just wondering how long this will last in the fridge?

Hi! I made my green seasoning too spicy any way I can counteract it? Thanks!

Thank You for your cooking wisdom!! 🌄🌄🌄#Salute🙌🙌 #Subscribed 💃💃💃

Can you list all of ingredients that you have you use in this video.

Mr Chris, Imma have to send you some $$$ so you can stand me some of those pimiento 🌶️ peppers to NYC 🗽!! I can't find them nowhere here. I need to get some seeds so I can grow some in my garden. Bless you always, 🙏🏾❤️

I want to purchase a cookbook, but your website isn’t up

Hi, are pimento peppers spicy? Thanks in advance

I have to add pimento to my pepper garden! I noticed that you used unripe pimiento peppers. Is that for color or for the flavor?

Chris you're so handsome... love all your videos. Please don't stop😊

Thanks for the tips. I picked up some Spanish Thyme while in the Bahamas and it’s growing nicely. Compared to regular thyme how much should I use? Would a leaf be like a sprig? Looking forward to a Gallivanting from your time during Carnival. Love the cook book! Wendy

I dont use the oil cause when stored it separates. The herbs will release enough fluid to be able to process.

Can u add olive oil or vegetable oil

Why you didn’t list the ingredients?

Hi chef when will you visit Barbados

How do you correct the green seasoning if you use too much shadow bene

Thanks Chris, I love Chardon beni but can’t find it in Europe. Is it a thistle plant and does it grow in the Canadian climate? The generous use of olive oil def works. Have you blended your green seasoning with both olive oil and lime or lemon juice? Do you prefer lemon or lime? Also do you us Salt in your green seasoning?

Which stores in Toronto area can you find chado beni? I would like to find that.

Sofrito

Hey Chris where in southern Ontario can you find wiri wiri, pimento peppers and shado beni. I'm located in Toronto !

What do you think about adding a carrot to it?

Vinegar is a preservative

My dear Chris if you ever start to make this green seasoning to sell I’ll be one of the first to purchase it. It looks amazing and I know I wouldn’t be able to get all the fresh ingredients I would require to make it.

Chris can I use avocado oil instead of olive oil?

Guyana thyme

How come we use onions in our seasoning and it last. The older folk didn't put theirs in a fridge because my did not have one.

can you add enough spices to convert jarred puerto rican sofrito to something close to this. any comment s are appreciated

What do u do with this green seasoning ??

Olive oil when being worked in a blender or food processor can develop a bitter taste to it. Anyone encountered this issue?

Can I put vinager to preserve the green seasoning as well?

Chris, what are the red peppers?

Is Chutney Coriander the same as green sauce

Nice organic seasoning.but its best to store in bottles, plastics no.

How much olive oil Chris

Hi Chris I live in the UK can't get shadow benny

How could i keep my green seasoning long

How long will it stay fresh in the fridge?

I use vinegar instead of the oil

You should have a BBQ in the summer and everyone should bring a dish form your book or channel. I want ah book took you have a email?

Any suggestions for a roucou recipe

Hi Chris,, is there a place I can go to get the ingredients you have mentioned ...Well, that was vague..lol. A list of these ingredients that is. Thanks a bunch.

I can get wiri wiri pepper
