Food Tip#1: Make your own Green seasoning...

Trinis love to use fresh seasoning but nowadays they end up buying it to save time. These bottled seasonings cannot touch the real deal. Homemade seasoning gives much more flavour and you’re fully aware of all the ingredients. So don’t buy it, make it!

You have a wide variety of herbs, peppers and onions to choose from so you can’t go wrong, just add your favourite seasoning herbs.  I don’t own a grinder so I blend my seasoning and it stays for at least 2 weeks in the fridge.

If you’ve never made it before, try my basic recipe and tell me what you think.
