MARINATES Meaning and
Definition
-
Marinates is the third person singular conjugation of the verb "marinate." Marinate is a culinary term that refers to the process of soaking or immersing food, particularly meat, fish, or vegetables, in a seasoned liquid mixture, known as a marinade, for a certain period of time. This technique is typically used to enhance the flavor, tenderness, and juiciness of the food being prepared.
When food marinates, it undergoes a chemical reaction with the marinade, which consists of a combination of ingredients such as oil, acid (often vinegar or citrus juice), herbs, spices, and sometimes even alcoholic beverages. The marinating process allows the flavors of the marinade to infuse and penetrate the food, resulting in a more flavorful and tender end product.
The time required for marinating can vary depending on the recipe and the type of food being prepared. Some recipes may require just a few minutes of marinading, while others can take hours or even overnight. During this time, the food is usually placed in a covered container or sealed bag to prevent bacteria growth and ensure maximum flavor absorption.
Marinating is a widely used technique in various cuisines around the world and is particularly popular in barbecue and grilling recipes. It is valued for its ability to transform ordinary ingredients into tastier and more succulent dishes.
Common Misspellings for MARINATES
Etymology of MARINATES
The word "marinates" is derived from the noun "marinade".
"Marinade" originated in the late 17th century, derived from the French term "marinade". The French word was a blend of two words: "marin" meaning "marine" or "seawater", and "ade" referring to a drink or a sauce. It originally referred to a substance used for pickling foods or meat in order to preserve them or enhance their flavor.
Over time, the term "marinade" evolved to specifically denote a seasoned liquid mixture used to soak meat, fish, or vegetables before cooking. And the verb form "marinates" was created to describe the action of placing food in a marinade for a period of time to allow the flavors to infuse and tenderize the ingredients.
