YUMM!! I, of course, forgot to go out back for the thyme & also forgot the tomato paste until I had dumped out the portion for marinating. So, the sauce was a bit better than the marinade because I hooked that little mini prep back up, added the missing ingredients & whizzed it all up! My plantains were a bit on the soft side but still grilled well. Absolutely delicious. Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers.
