Green seasoning is one of those herb mixtures that is unique to the Caribbean and differs slightly from island to island. It is used in a huge number of Trinidadian dishes. In Trinidad, it's distinguished by the use of a local herb called shado beni (culantro). Fresh shado beni can sometimes be found in West Indian markets, but if not, fresh cilantro is a good substitute.

• 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh shado beni or cilantro leaves
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 4 cloves garlic
