INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and black pepper (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk all ingredients or shake in a jar until combined.
SO MANY OPTIONS. See notes for all the ways to use this magic.
Get a lid on that jar and mix er up – takes all of about 5 minutes to measure and shake.
Now… just use it to marinate stuff you love to eat.
Like chicken. pork. veggies. portabello mushroom caps or a block of tofu (both my personal favorites). Dinner is almost done.
We’ve tried just about every marinade-able thing several times in our kitchen, and we put some timing and cooking notes (including notes about what we didn’t like – looking at you, beef) in the recipe notes section so you know how long to marinate and how long to cook these guys.
IT’S THE EVERYTHING MARINADE!
The Everything Marinade is the thesis for why sauce week exists. One sauce, minimal energy, big flavor, all resulting in a beautiful, joy-bringing, proud-of-it meal.
The Everything Marinade! All you need is a few pantry ingredients and a jar, and you’ve got heavenly, smokey-sweet, savory flavor that goes with just about any vegetable or protein.
