Island Green Seasoning by Boardgains Founder Eric Mathura

Island Green Seasoning is now another staple for my seasonings and in Trinidadian culture each family has their own style of green seasoning. The beauty about this seasoning is that it's great on everything and really versatile. I perfected this recipe after going to Trinidad and watching and learning from my Grandma and how she created her. I then came back home and gave it my own flair. And this seasoning is always a HIT! You can season meat, seafood, and even add it to mayo to make an Island Green Ailio. And this is the healthiest of all the seasonings as well because it's just a bunch of herbs blended together. And it's the colour of Boardgains lol so that's a plus too!
