Here is a suggestion for that beautiful mix vegetables green seasoning you made. Freeze them in ice tray, and they will form into cubes. Then put them into slider zipper bags and just keep them in freezer until ready to use. I Hope it is that helps.

Happy new year. I just came across your comment, and I love it. I'm going to do this with my green seasoning, and my garlic ginger paste. Thank you so much. 😊

I made your green seasoning from your older video and every time I use it in my cooking the smell permeates the whole house and my whole family comes in to the kitchen to see what I am making 🤣 I love this stuff and I feel good knowing it’s all natural seasoning and not store bought with lots of high sodium

Chris for storage, spray an ice cube tray with veg oil. Fill the tray with excess seasoning puree. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. For larger portions amounts, a muffin tray works well also. Remove frozen cubes from tray and place in freezer bag. Remove as much air from the bag to prevent freezer burn. Now you can remove as many or as few cubes as you need for a specific recipe application. I do both methods. This also works well with storing home-made stocks.

Once I have my green seasoning in the bottle - I top it up with olive oil, and it lasts for months in the fridge! Love this seasoning.

@michaelsalmon6436

6 жыл бұрын

What kind of olive oil did you use, please!? Why not just freeze it? I will tell you why ....because it will not taste the same. I have tried freezing this stuff several times, w/o realizing the same kick that I get with the freshly made stuff. Freezing has a way of reducing and/or eliminating the fresh veggie taste sensations that you will enjoy from Chris' recipe. And I think that the taste of the cilantro disappears almost entirely once frozen. Just my 2 cents, however.

@Dr.Nagyonfaj

6 жыл бұрын

I agree. Freezing seems to break it down - and it does not taste the same. The olive oil creates a seal against air, and that's why it keeps. I use extra virgin olive oil.

For me as a foreiner in Trinidad this type of marinating the meat was very strange . Now thats the way i marinate the meat in my home country of Bulgaria . My relatives in Bulgaria were in shock the first time i did the meat with the caribbean style marinating , now they all do it . The only diference there is noshado beni , but there is ciliandro which is almost the same . Love Trinidad

To prevent oxidation, add a 1/4 " of good quality virgin olive oil on top. It will do the job. I crush alot of garlic to put in a jar, fill it with olive oil to keep it in the fridge. The garlic does not change color at all for months.

Thank you Chris for making this video, it is always nice to see a new spin on making something. A lot of people know about using water or vinegar . When I make my seasoning, I like to grind everything up with no liquid and just add salt. The salt helps the seasoning spring it's own juices. I'm going to try your method as I find it very interesting and your reason that it keeps the flavor's longer is worth the try.

This is a great tip! Sometimes adding a spritz of fresh lemon juice can add a kick of flavor but keeping the vibrant color or the veggies is more important. You can always add the spritz just before serving. I like adding a pinch of Kosher salt just before serving too.

I've got a good friend who uses coconut water instead of regular water in her green seasoning marinade. It's fantastic. Stays well in the fridge too.

I've tried a couple of your recipes. The results have been delicious.
