Marinade

A savoury acidic sauce in which a food is soaked to enrich its flavour or to tenderise it. Marinade consists of a cooking oil, an acid (vinegar, lemon juice, wine), and spices. As the food stands in the mixture, the acid and the oil impart the savoury flavours of the spices to the food. The acid also has a tenderising action.
