marinád
Marinád is a liquid mixture, typically containing an acid, oil, and seasonings, used to soak food before cooking. The primary purpose of marinading is to tenderize and flavor the food. The acid component, often vinegar, citrus juice, or wine, helps to break down tough muscle fibers in meats, making them more tender. The oil component, such as olive oil or vegetable oil, helps to distribute fat-soluble flavors throughout the food and can prevent it from drying out during cooking.
A wide variety of seasonings can be added to marinades, including herbs, spices, garlic, onions, soy sauce,
