Ingredients

  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup celery leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh thyme
  • 2 cups sweet basil, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons rosemary
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ½ cup garlic, chopped
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon Maggie powder, optional
  • Water or vegetable oil as needed

Instructions

  • Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender into a fine paste. You might have to do this in several batches. If using a blender, add as little water as possible to facilitate blending. If using a food processor, you don't need liquid.
  • Store it in glass jars with airtight lids in the fridge. It's best used in a couple of days, or you can pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it. After the cubes are completely frozen, take them out of the tray and store them in zip lock bags for up to two months—Thaw before using unless you're going to throw them in a soup or stew.

Notes

  • You can vary this blend's flavor by adding more of your favored herbs and less of what you don't care for. My favorites are basil and parsley, so I included more of them. Feel free to adapt each herb to suit your taste.
  • This seasoning makes a great basting or grilling sauce for your favorite meat. Alternatively, drop a cube or a tablespoon in stews or soups to ramp up their flavor.
  • You don't need extra liquid if using a food processor. But if you use a regular blender, add barely enough water or oil to blend the ingredients.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
