Marinade with Fresh Tomatoes, Onions, and Spices
Sauces and Marinades • Georgian
Description
Tomatoes can also serve as the acidic component in a marinade. However, in addition to the acidity, they possess a unique flavor that, when combined with khmeli-suneli, transports our taste buds straight to Georgia. This marinade is quite strong and spicy, so it's best suited for those types of fish that require a serious flavor enhancement before grilling—such as mackerel, which many find to have a sharp taste, as well as catfish or carp, to eliminate any muddy aroma.
Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil 0 fl oz
- Onion 4 heads
