Notes
1. Blending with oil helps the Green Seasoning to last longer in the fridge as opposed to blending with water.2. You could add a variety of other ingredients to your green seasoning. Love onions? Add some in! Love thyme? Add some in! If you like heat then add a couple of habaneros or scotch bonnet peppers or chilis for some heat. I would personally just add 1 habanero because that way it is hot but the heat is not overpowering.3. Use 1 cup of this green marinade for 5 pounds of chicken or beef.
