I’ve started a marinade lab.

I usually stick to the basics—olive oil, garlic, and a splash of lemon—but I’m curious about what else is out there. Last night, I tried a soy sauce and ginger mix on some chicken thighs. I added a bit of honey, a dash of sesame oil, and let it sit for about two hours in the fridge. The result was pretty solid—juicy and flavorful, with a nice balance of sweet and savory. I’ve heard yogurt-based marinades can make meat really tender, especially for grilling. Might give that a shot with some cumin and coriander next time. For beef, I’m thinking about trying something with balsamic vinegar and rosemary. If anyone has a go-to marinade for pork or even veggies, I’d be interested to hear about it. Always looking for something that’s easy to throw together but brings out a lot of flavor. Letting the meat marinate overnight seems to make a difference, but sometimes I just do an hour if I’m short on time. Open to any suggestions or unique combos people have tried! #marinades #homecooking #meatprep #Food #Cooking
