BAJAN WET SEASONING



Bajan Wet Seasoning image

Here's a recipe based on one in Taymer Mason's "Caribbean Vegan" book. I've made this many times, sometimes with the exact ingredients and sometimes with some missing or substituted ingredients but it has tasted great every time. Use when cooking meats (or vegan substitutes) in Caribbean styles. This is also great to use in sauces, stews, soups, etc.

BAJAN GREEN SEASONING

a secret ingredient in most caribbean kitches, this is good for anything from brushing on chicken or adding to stews and soups. It calls for one week to mature but i am sure 4 or 5 days will be enough as well. Keeps for 6 months in the fridge.
