Marinade for Pork (II)

 Ingredients: For 1 kg of meat we need: - 500 ml dry white wine - 1 onion sliced - 1 carrot - 1 stalk of leek sliced - 1 small root celery - 2 cloves of garlic - 1 piece of clove - 5 peppercorns - 1 sprig of thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme) - 1 bay leaf

To prepare a delicious marinade that will transform the meat into a juicy and flavorful dish, start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the carrot into thin rounds or grate it, depending on your preference. This will add not only a pleasant texture but also a hint of sweetness that will enrich the final taste of the dish. Continue with the celery, which will provide a slightly spicy aroma, and garlic, finely chopped or crushed, will intensify the flavor, bringing an unmistakable fragrance.

After you have prepared the vegetables, take a large bowl and add the carrot, celery, and garlic. Mix them well to ensure the flavors combine perfectly. Now, it's time to add the rest of the ingredients: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and if you like, some herbs such as thyme or rosemary, which will add extra flavor. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can also add a few drops of soy sauce or even a splash of lemon.

Once you have obtained a homogeneous marinade, take the meat you wish to marinate, whether it is chicken, pork, or beef. Place the meat in a glass or ceramic dish, making sure it is not too tight, to allow for even marination. Pour the vegetable and marinade mixture over the meat, ensuring that each piece is completely covered. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent the aromas from evaporating.

After covering the dish, place it in the refrigerator. It is ideal to let the meat marinate from evening until morning, so the flavors can deeply penetrate the meat. This will make it more tender and flavorful. It is important not to wash the meat before cooking to retain all the delicious flavors and juices.

The next morning, the meat will be ready to cook. You can grill it, bake it in the oven, or cook it in a pan, depending on your preferences. Regardless of the method chosen, you will achieve a tasty dish that will impress both family and friends. The dish will be juicy and full of flavors, and the vegetables will add a touch of freshness and color. Enjoy your meal!
