Hi Claire! Our local celery has a very strong flavor that is not really similar to flat leaf parsley. I have gotten flat leaf parsley at gourmet stores like peppercorns and malabar meats and the price and amount you get are quite good.

Hi Sarina,
I was wondering if you could tell me what is the equivalent of flat leaf parsley here in Trinidad. The closest thing I can think of is celery like what you get with the bundle of seasoning in the market but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.
Claire.

Well home made is definitely one hundred percent better than the Mabel's green seasoning which is shown in the picture. My Guyanese husband accidentally brought home this brand and it was sloppy and gluey looking with little flavour. If you can't make your own, try some Bajan green seasoning if you can find it, 'Delish' for preference. It really is almost like home made.

Thanks for this! In Puerto Rico we make a similar green seasoning (sofrito)–ours has onion, garlic, green peppers, seasoning peppers, culantro, and a touch of oregano all blended together. I was so happy to move here and find 1) culantro for it and 2) that Trinidad green seasoning is just as good!

I've found that while vinegar works as a preservative, it can spoil the taste of dishes where you don't want that acid taste. So, I use as little water as I can for the food processor to work, and add salt instead to the seasoning mix as a preservative. It just means that when I am adding the green seasoning my dish I have to adjust the salt that I add in addition to the seasoning, but I've never had a problem.

JulieMango, this is the first time I've ever heard of Portuguese Thyme. What is it? And where can it be found? Am I the only person who has never heard of it?
