Seasonings and Sauces

Have you ever wondered how Caribbean food gets those distinct flavor notes that you can’t put your finger on? It comes from wet seasoning blends, which were used to preserve food in the days before refrigeration. Wet seasonings play a valuable role in enhancing the flavor of sauces and soups and can also be added to tofu scrambles as a complete, all-in-one seasoning. You’ll notice that most of my wet seasoning blends include green onions, garlic, hot peppers, and salt. The other ingredients, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices, vary from island to island.
