MARINATING MEAT
There are two types of marinades - wet and dry. These mixtures use spices and
seasonings and, in the case of wet marinades, an acid-based liquid to make meat more
tender and flavorful. The longer the marinade is left on the food before it is cooked, the
stronger the flavor. Marinating times can vary from one hour to as long as twenty-four
hours.
• A wet marinade combines vegetable or olive oil for moisture, an acid-based liquid
such as lemon juice, wine, tomatoes (juice and pulp) or yogurt for tenderizing, and
herbs and spices for flavor.
• A dry marinade, also known as a spice rub, combines herbs, spices and salt in
a mixture that is rubbed onto food that has been lightly brushed with vegetable oil
to make the mixture adhere to the food. (The general rule is one to two tablespoons
of dry marinade per pound of meat.)
Always store food that is marinating in the refrigerator. Place food and marinade in a
tightly covered non-metal dish, removing the cover only to turn the food occasionally.
Heavy plastic bags may also be used for marinating. Place the food and marinade inside
the bag, seal the bag tightly and store in refrigerator. Turn the bag every so often to
redistribute marinade.
