A marinade is a mixture of various liquids, herbs, spices and other flavorings that's used to improve the flavor and texture of meats, poultry and seafood. Common ingredients include:
•Vinegar, citrus juice, or some other acidic liquid
•Oil, either neutral or something with flavor like extra-virgin olive oil, hazelnut oil or sesame oil
•Prepared condiments...various mustards or sauces
•Alcoholic beverages, from beers to wines to spirits
•Fresh herbs, fresh veggies, garlic, fresh fruit
•Dried herbs, spices and seasonings; salt of some kind - sea salt, flavored salt, kosher salt, pickling salt...just about any salt but iodized table salt
•Sweeteners, including cane sugars and various syrups
Just about anything with flavor is fair game as a marinade ingredient.
