marinated

adjectiveB2+Occasional — familiar, but not everyday · #11,598 of 15,258neutral

Marinated means left to sit in a flavoured liquid before cooking. Marinated overnight, marinated olives, marinated in yoghurt.

Acid and salt do the work, and the flavour barely penetrates: most of a marinade sits on the surface, which is why the time matters less than people think. Yoghurt marinades tenderise where lemon ones firm the surface.
