1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger Minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Garlic Minced
3 tablespoon Olive Oil
¼ cup Water

For the Marinade

Add all the ingredients except the WATER and LIME juice to a mixing bowl. Mix to form a stiff paste.

If you are using minced ginger or garlic from a jar, please check the ingredients as many manufacturers add in sugar.
