Marinade was originally a brine for preserving fish and it still means `to pickle in brine `.Marinades are the beauty baths of cheap cuts of meat ,but let`s face it there are no cheap cuts of meat anymore .
Marinades will work just as well on expensive cuts of meat .Marinades will make any cut tender and they also season food in a pleasant way , for example the expensive and tasteless fillet of beef will have its flavoured enhanced with a marinade .
A marinade is a combination of oil, acid and spices . As the meat stands , or marinates in the mixture , the acid breaks down the fibers , the oil enters and smoothly carries with it the savoury flavours of the seasoning .
Letting food stand for some time in a marinade makes meat tender , to add flavour to uninteresting food , to create new dishes from leftovers , to bring out certain flavours , to unify a flavour of several ingredients such as stews . or simply add interest to a menu .
All kinds of foods are appropriate for marinating , meats , fish , poultry , vegetables and fruit .The type of marinade .........light or heavy , cooked or uncooked ........the seasoning is chosen according to the food being used and the depth of flavour you are seeking .
MARINATED VEGETABLES
Marinated cooked vegetables are delicious , whole string beans , zucchini cut into strips ,asparagus either alone or mixed together drizzled with a simple French dressing , they will absorb more flavour if dressed while hot .

Dress with 3 tbs of oil , 1 tbs vinegar , 1 tsp of Dijon mustard , 1/2 tsp of salt , 1/4 tsp of cracked pepper , pinch of sugar , 1 shallot and 1 tbs of chopped parsley.
