Oil and vinegar marinade
A marinade is usually made of two primary ingredients: oil and vinegar, otherwise known as oil and acid. A marinade’s primary purpose is to spread flavor through immersion and helps to tenderize the meat or vegetables which is soaking in it. A marinade can also provide cooking lubrication on the grill for grilled foods. Olive oil is the normal choice ingredient for most marinades, it adds a pleasing flavor and provides the necessary lubricant for a hot grill. The acid counterpart of olive oil is usually vinegar but it can also be citrus juice, tomato juice, pineapple juice, wine, or even soy sauce. A quality marinade can greatly reduce the game flavor from wild game meats to make them much more palatable.
A variety of flavors can enhance the taste of the marinade. Herbs, onions, shallots, and garlic are the most common additions to marinade. Other ingredients such as ginger, mustard, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, can also be used. A good mustard vinaigrette, red raspberry vinaigrette, or a red wine vinaigrette is often used as a practical marinade.
