In response to "Speaking of food. I am going to cook chicken hindquarters for dinner but I don't have a marinade. What do you think about" by Redmond

in marinade you need a combination of acid and oil

I read somewhere that soy has something else in it that helps tenderize meat. taste the pineapple, is it acid enough for you - if not try adding a little (1/2 or so) white wine. the only mustard i use is the grainy brown kind - it might overpower the pineapple. and btw adding garlic is always a nice idea

right now my favorite sweet/mustard marinade for 1-2 lb meat is:

1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 T. balsamic vinegar
2 T. olive oil
1/2 (or more wine)

the brown sugar causes a nice brown caramelization of the meat

Responses:

I will toss a little olive oil into the mix then -- nm - Redmond Jun 7, 13:36 1
- Skip the oil, what you've got is fine. It's basically teriyaki sauce. - the liioulu with two lost cds Jun 7, 14:13
