Pork marinade?!
Answers: I am wanting to make a pork loin for the holidays and I need a very delicious marinade recipe. I want something different, but not something with ingredients not everyone will like. I will definitely take any recipes I can get. Spicy is good!
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (3 inch) piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. tomato puree
1 tbsp. wine vinegar
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 c. chicken or beef stock
Place the pork loin in a glass or ceramic dish, and blend the remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender. Cover the pork with the marinade and refrigerate overnight.
Bring the pork to room temperature and roast in a baking pan in a 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour, basting occasionally with the marinade. The pork may be served warm or at room temperature, sliced thin and accompanied by chutney or mustard.
I like to create my own glaze to put on my pork loins. Usually with brown sugar, o.j., ground mustard, red pepper flakes, garlic powder & a quirt of bbq sauce as a base. You can add other things to get the flavor you really want.
The below site is one of the better ones I have seen.
The following marinade recipes are from Grilling Sampler by Jan Siegrist, pages 44 and 45. Their for a pound of meat, fish or poulrty and the following key is a recommendation of what they go good with.
B: Beef
C: Chicken and other poulty
F: Fish
P: Pork
"Apple-Soy (C, P). Combine 1/4 cup frozen apple juice; 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 teaspoon savory.
Caribbean (C, F, P). Combine 1/4 cup lime juice; 1/4 cup orange juice; 2 tablespoons cider vinegar; 1 garlic clove, crushed; 1/2 teaspoon allspice; 1/2 teaspoon thyme; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.
Teriyaki (B, C, P). Combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/8 teaspoon ginger; 2 tablespoons sherry (optiona)."
Can't really speak to the other two, but I have done the Caribbean marinade with thin, well tenderized steak strips in order to make a kind of jerk steak strips. May not be recommended for beef but it came out very, very good. And I can only imagine how it would be with what it is recommended for. Does have a bit of a kick to it.
