Marinade for barbecue with Provence herbs - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use dried herbs instead of a Provence herb mix?

While fresh Provence herbs offer the best flavor, you can substitute with a dried mix. Use about 1 tablespoon of dried herbs for the amount specified in the recipe, and consider blooming them in the heated oil a bit longer to release their aroma.

I don't have fresh ginger. Can I use ginger powder?

Yes, you can substitute ginger powder. Start with about 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste. Keep in mind that ginger powder has a slightly different flavor profile than fresh ginger.

How long can I marinate the meat for barbecue?

The recipe suggests 2-12 hours. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for longer than 2 hours and no more than 12. A longer marinating time allows the meat to absorb more flavor and become more tender, but over-marinating can make the meat mushy.

Can I use this marinade for vegetables?

Absolutely! This marinade works well for vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant. Marinate vegetables for a shorter time, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, to prevent them from becoming too soft.

What kind of meat is best for this barbecue marinade?

This marinade is versatile and works well with various meats, including chicken, pork, beef, and lamb. Consider the cut of meat when determining marinating time. Tougher cuts benefit from longer marinating.

Can I freeze leftover marinade?

Yes, you can freeze leftover marinade, but it's important to note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing due to the oil content. It's best used for marinating and not as a sauce after being frozen. Always bring the meat to the appropriate cooking temperature.

How can I make this marinade vegetarian?

This marinade is naturally vegetarian! Use it on tofu, tempeh, or vegetables for a delicious barbecue flavor.

Can I make this marinade in advance?

Yes, and this is a great practice! You can prepare the marinade in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
