Herb Seasoning Salt (Tempero Mineiro)

In Brazil this kind of seasoning is often found in specialty food stores and certainly in most homes. This is a very loose recipe - you can change things around! Once you find a mix that works for you, stick with it and you’ll get that signature taste!

2 green peppers
3 large onions
6 whole heads of garlic
1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley
1 bunch of green onions
1 bunch of fresh bay leaves
about 2 pounds of salt

Remove seeds from green peppers, remove the internal white membrane and roughly chop them.
Peel and quarter onions.
Peel all garlic cloves.
Place all ingredients except the salt in a food processor (or blender) and mix until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl.
Add salt and mix it with a spatula until you get a grainy consistency. This will take more or less 2 pounds of salt (try kosher salt!).
Transfer the final product to designated containers. They can be kept in the fridge or frozen for later use.
