Best Ever Whisky Marinade
We think a go-to marinade is a Summer must-have. A tasty marinade transforms your steak, seafood or veggies (and a whole bunch of other things) into a flavour-packed mouth massage.
Marinades are a great way to ramp up the flavour in your dish, and if the marinade has acidic ingredients, it can also help tenderise meat.
You might be thinking, “Wait a minute, I don’t have time to marinate something overnight.’
Never fear, you can make marination magic in as little as 15 minutes.
As a rule of thumb, you should only marinate fish and seafood for 15 to 30 minutes and two hours should do it for chicken. You can marinate beef and pork for longer — anywhere from one to 12 hours. Dense root vegetables can be marinated from 30 minutes to two hours and the same goes for veggie proteins like tofu, tempeh and seitan.
Alright, let’s get out marinade on.
