Sabato Marinades

Aubergine, broccoli, mushrooms, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood, salmon – almost anything can benefit from the infusion of flavour a good marinade will give, and meats will be tenderised too. For the best result, ensure you cover all surfaces of the food with your marinade. As a guide, marinate vegetables and seafood for 30 minutes. Meats and poultry can be marinated for 3-12 hours. Discard any used marinade remaining.
