What is a "marinade"?
A marinade is a seasoned liquid mixture used to flavor and tenderize meat, poultry, seafood, or vegetables before cooking. It typically consists of acidic ingredients such as vinegar, citrus juice, or wine, combined with oil, herbs, spices, and other flavorings. The food is immersed in the marinade for a period of time, allowing the flavors to penetrate and infuse into the ingredients. Marinades not only add flavor but also help to tenderize tougher cuts of meat and enhance their juiciness. They can be customized with different ingredients to create a variety of flavor profiles, from tangy and citrusy to spicy and savory. Marinades are a versatile and delicious way to enhance the taste of dishes and are commonly used in grilling, roasting, and pan-frying.
