HOW TO MARINATE - 1 -



Hello to all. I have been asked several times to talk about cooking without heat, or “how to marinate foods”. This is something that we’ll deal with in stages.

This type of "cooking" is achieved by leaving food immersed in liquids containing an acid component.
Normally, it is good to cut food into thin slices or cubes, to ensure that the marinade acts better. Marinating in wine instead, which can take several days (rabbit, duck, guinea fowl), is also suitable for large pieces of meat (200g-500g).

To evenly take the flavor, food must be turned over frequently, especially when it comes to large pieces. 

I find it convenient to put the marinade together with the desired food in a freezer bag and close well. 
That way I can turn over everything quickly, in a practical way, and without mess or fuss.

Among the most popular marinades are: citrus marinade, vinegar, wine and yoghurt marinade.
