Grilled Miso Tenderlion

Miso is made of soybeans and is very healthy. The Japanese use miso to marinate beef, fish and vegetables. White miso is not only used as marinade but also in soups and many other dishes. It has a mild earthy aroma and taste, which makes me hungry just when opening the packaging. Dark or red miso is stronger in flavor and has a slightly yeasty or malt-like taste. It provides a very special note but is used in lesser amounts because its strong flavor can easily overwhelm other flavors. The subtle tenderloin goes wonderfully with grilled pouches of asparagus and snow peas.

This herby paste is suitable for any kind of fish and seafood, and even chicken and lamb. Its fresh and herby flavor gives the meat a very special touch. I added turmeric for an extra Asian touch.
