What is green seasoning?
There’s so many versions of green seasoning in many Caribbean cultures. It’s a mix of spices, herbs and aromatics that are blended together to make a thick paste.
Sofrito is made by Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, Epis is made by Haitians and green seasoning can be found in Trini and Jamaican foods.
Not everyone makes them the same but it all tastes so good.
