This is an idea from my mother who makes the most wonderful barbeques. She marinates the meat in tomatoe paste, olive oil, garlic and lots of pepper before grilling. She also uses it to marinate pieces of filet before frying and serving.

Today I served this mixture as a spread on the walnut bread my husband brought home.

  • 1 small can tomato paste (70 g)
  • 1 small clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • a dash of onion powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Just mixed everything thoroughly.

Spread on bread, or rub on meat as a marinade, etc…
