Notes

  • Use fresh produce and herbs. The natural water content makes blending easier and fresh produce has enzymes that help to tenderize meat when the green seasoning is used as a marinade.
  • Make a double batch. I love making tons of the marinade since I use it so often. It freezes really well, and you can pre-portion them in ziploc bags, ice cube trays, or silicone freezer molds.
