Category:Marinades dressings and butters
Marination, also known as marinating, is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origins of the word allude to the use of brine (aqua marina) in the pickling process, which led to the technique of adding flavour by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the marinade can be acidic with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or wine, or savoury with soy sauce, brine or other prepared sauces. Along with these liquids, a marinade often contains oils, herbs, and spices to further flavour the food items. It is commonly used to flavour foods and to tenderise tougher cuts of meat or harder vegetables such as beetroot, aubergine (eggplant) , and courgette (zucchini). The process may last seconds or days. Different marinades are used in different cuisines. For example, in Indian cuisine the marinade is usually prepared with yogurt and spices.
