Bajan Green Seasoning - We use this on EVERYTHING!

1 bunch of green onions (spring onions)
1 scotch bonnet pepper or 1 habanero
Bunch of parsley and dill
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of sweet marjoram
3 garlic cloves
1 small onion
Lime juice, vinegar*, salt and pepper

Chop the green onions finely (by the way, those hands belong to Cummins - my gran's cook:

Mix in dill and parsley - not too much of either:

Then the sweet marjoram:


Now the thyme:


Now grate the onion and garlic into the mix like so:


Add in some hot pepper if you can handle the heat (can you handle the heat?) and mix in some lime juice (ours was frozen since limes were out of season at that time.  The little red specks are the pepper):



You're almost done.. finish by seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, a splash of vinegar and then use it liberally!  Save any additional either in the fridge if you're going to use it up right away, or freeze for future goodness.

This is the DEFINITIVE taste of Bajan cooking.  We honestly use it in almost everything, and it is the must have recipe to cook our food.

P.S. Cummins can make this so delicious that you're tempted to eat the seasoning plain!  I haven't quite gotten there, but I did photograph all her steps, so maybe you'll do better.

Enjoy!
