Prep Aromatics: Roughly chop the culantro, cilantro, parsley, scallion, thyme, broadleaf thyme, rosemary, garlic, ginger, and peppers so they blend evenly.
Load the Blender: Add all the chopped herbs and aromatics into a blender or food processor. Pour in the lime juice or vinegar and a splash of water or oil.
Blend: Pulse until a thick, spoonable paste forms. Add only small amounts of liquid as needed to reach the desired consistency.
Season & Adjust: Taste the seasoning and adjust with additional salt, lime juice, or peppers depending on your preferred flavor and heat level.
Store Properly: Transfer the finished green seasoning into a clean glass jar. Refrigerate for up to 10 days or freeze for longer storage.
Trinidad green seasoning is all about herbaceous depth, aromatic heat, and fresh island brightness. Culantro forms the backbone of the seasoning, while thyme adds earthiness, scallion brings freshness, and pimento peppers provide the signature Trinidad seasoning pepper aroma without overwhelming heat. Broadleaf thyme and rosemary are optional additions that contribute a beautiful Caribbean garden note.
