Category: Caribbean

Ingredients

1/2 lb bandhania / shadon beni / culantro / sawtooth coriander

1/2 lb cilantro / coriander

1/4 lb flat-leaf parsley

1/2 lb green onion / scallion (Trini chive)

2 heads garlic

Handful fresh thyme

5–8 pimento peppers (or mild seasoning peppers)

A few red bird peppers / Thai chilies (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Wash and Prep Herbs:

Rinse all herbs thoroughly to remove dirt and grit.
Optional: Soak in 4 cups water + 1 cup vinegar + 1 tbsp salt for 15 minutes, then drain and rinse.
Peel garlic and remove woody stems from herbs (soft stems are okay).
Chop everything into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

2. Blend or Chop:

Use a mini chopper or blender. For chunky green seasoning, chop lightly.
For a smoother paste, blend with a little water.
Ensure ingredients are evenly mixed.
