Pork Marinade
Pleasures for your Palette
A pork marinade is usually a little lighter than marinades for other meats, but there is still a wide range of flavorful ingredients to choose from. Pork is a very versatile meat; it goes well with sweet, salty and spicy flavors. So, you have lots to choose from when making a pork marinade.
A pork marinade could include any one of these ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, coriander, tomatoes, horseradish, oregano, onion, cilantro, maple syrup, sugar, vegetable oil, olive oil, vinegar, brandy, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, bay leaves, ginger, curry powder, ginger, oregano, dill, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, cumin and chili peppers. Pork is also very agreeable to mustard, so you might try adding some honey mustard to the pork marinade recipe. If you like things really spicy, add chili powder and/or cayenne to your pork marinade or add hot sauce. Pork also goes well with fruit, and there are many recipes that include apples, avocados, apricots and pineapples.
The cut of meat you are cooking may also influence the type of pork marinade you want to use on it. You could be eating pork ribs or pork loin, ham, roast or even tongue or feet.
