Caribbean Green Seasoning

So it's Saturday, and you've just returned from the Market with some fresh fish and chicken. In the Caribbean, the typical thing to do is clean and season your meat before putting in the fridge or freezer. That way, when you're ready to cook, you will have perfectly marinated and flavoured meat.

Caribbean green seasoning is a paste made from blending a number of fresh herbs and spices, that will give your dish that full flavour typical of many Caribbean meat dishes.
