Sauce it Up
Marinades have been around for centuries – people all over the world have used salts, sauces, and other ingredients to soften their meat and veggies and make them more flavorful. One of the very first marinades used by the Romans was sea water! The salty liquid would seep into the meat before it was cooked to give it an improved texture and more desirable taste. Today, marinades have evolved to allow you to add pretty much any flavor infusion to any meat or veggie or tofu (if that’s your thing).
