Instructions

Using a high-powered blender or food processor, add all the ingredients and process to a mince.
Add equal parts of vinegar and or lime juice to moisten the mixture and help make the paste-like consistency.
Once all the ingredients have been blended to a purée, and the mixture is like a thick salsa paste, it’s ready to be used or stored in a sanitized jar or bottle.
Use as a marinade for meat or seafood by rubbing and soaking up the flavors overnight for more depth of flavor. It can also be used to baste the meat or seafood as it’s cooking on the grill.
It can also be used in small amounts like green seasoning to add a jerk flavoring to any dish.
Optional Ingredient
For extra heat, add one or more scotch bonnet peppers to the blender when processing the other ingredients. For slightly less heat, remove the seeds before adding to the mixture.
