  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 small bunch parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 small bunch cilantro chopped

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Instructions

  • Taste and add more seasonings if you like. Garnish with chopped cilantro and parsley. Serve with rice or salad.
