GINGER SHALLOT MARINADE RECIPE



Ginger Shallot Marinade Recipe image

Provided by Stacy_K

Number Of Ingredients 9

Large ginger root, peeled and chopped
2 large shallots chopped
3 cloves of garlic
5-7 fresh basil leaves
Juice of one lime
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix. Marinade meat for several hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and shallots will give your marinade the best flavor. Look for plump, unblemished ginger root and shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting.
  • Don't skimp on the marinade: The marinade is what infuses your meat with flavor, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A good rule of thumb is to use at least 1 cup of marinade for every pound of meat.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the meat, the more time it has to absorb the flavors. If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
  • Use a variety of marinating techniques: There are many different ways to marinate meat, so experiment until you find a method that you like. You can marinate the meat in a covered container in the refrigerator, in a zip-top bag, or even in a slow cooker.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and chewy, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The best way to tell if the meat is done is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the meat should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for ground beef, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for other meats.

Conclusion:

A ginger shallot marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your meat. It's perfect for chicken, beef, pork, or fish. The marinade is made with a combination of ginger, shallots, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and oil. The ginger and shallots give the marinade a slightly spicy and pungent flavor, while the soy sauce and brown sugar add a touch of sweetness and umami. The marinade is easy to make and can be used on a variety of meats. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, try a ginger shallot marinade.
