DOMINICAN RUM MARINADE

This is a recipe from a little Dominican man who lived down the street from me when I worked in the US Virgin Islands. This can be used for any kind of meat, poultry, or seafood as long as you allow it to be used overnight.

Yield 7 cups sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups dark rum
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup garlic clove, pureed
1 cup onion, grated
2 cups soy sauce
2 cups fresh lime juice
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Place the rum in a medium-size non-reactive saucepan, heat over medium heat, and, very carefully, using a long match and keeping your hair and long sleeves away from the pan, ignite the rum and allow it to burn itself out.
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat the oil, then add the garlic puree and onions and cook, stirring, until soft but not brown.
Add to the rum (once the rum has stopped flaming), along with the remaining ingredients, and heat through, stirring, until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Let cool before using.

This is a wonderful marinade. I loved it. This is good for up to 1 or 2 lbs of meat but I always make more. I like to have extra just incase.

Categories Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/3 cup rum
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic (, the kind in the jar is fine)
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together.
Pour over meat and marinade in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours.
Note* I pour all of the contents into a large ziplock bag and then add the meat.
I find this alot easier and it seems to marinade alot better this way.

Tips:

When choosing rum for the marinade, opt for a dark or amber rum for a richer flavor. White rum can also be used, but it will impart a less pronounced flavor.
Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, oregano, and parsley, add a burst of flavor to the marinade. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, dried herbs can be substituted, but use about half the amount.
The marinade can be used on a variety of meats, including chicken, pork, and beef. For best results, marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for a shorter period of time. Just keep in mind that the longer the meat marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
Once the meat has marinated, cook it over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. The marinade will caramelize on the meat, creating a delicious crust.

Conclusion:

A Dominican rum marinade is a flavorful and easy way to add a Caribbean flair to your next meal. This marinade is perfect for grilled or roasted meats, and it can also be used as a dipping sauce. With its combination of rum, spices, and fresh herbs, this marinade is sure to please everyone at your table.
