Tomato marinade for pork

15 minutes
Tomato marinade for pork is a blend of Russian culinary traditions and a unique flavor balance. Its history dates back to times when tomato juice was used not only as a drink but also as a base for sauces and marinades. Bell pepper adds gentle sweetness while adjika brings a spicy note, making the meat more expressive. Pork soaked in this marinade becomes juicy and aromatic with a slight tang from the tomatoes and soft spiciness. It is perfect for making kebabs that reveal the full bouquet of flavors after several hours of marinating. This marinade gives the meat richness, makes it particularly appetizing, and can be made spicier by adding more adjika. Ideal for summer picnics, gatherings with friends, and cozy family dinners.
