Marinades and marinades are basic preparations in any domestic or professional kitchen whose main objective is give food more flavor<\/strong>, before or after cooking. It is a technique that is usually used with meats but it is also very useful to flavor fish, vegetables, eggs, tofu or cheeses, among other foods.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The origin of marinades seems more linked to a practical function<\/strong> that is purely gustatory, as it is an ancient method of preserving food, mainly meats. In the absence of refrigeration or vacuum technology, a piece of meat completely covered by a liquid isolated the piece from the air, delaying its oxidation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although it is also believed that spicy marinades were also used to hide food that was already in poor condition, again mainly meats, it is a myth banished by historians. The spices were very expensive<\/strong> and who could afford them was not going to waste them in masking the bad taste of supposedly bad meat. It seems more plausible to use mixtures that are very vinegary or with abundant onion and garlic for this purpose.<\/p>\n
