Red Wine And Pepper Marinade

This vibrant marinade combines the bold acidity of red wine with the earthy warmth of crushed allspice and black peppercorns. A hint of garlic and vegetable oil helps bind the flavors, creating a glossy coating that penetrates meat or tofu. Ideal for chicken, beef, or vegetables before grilling or roasting, it adds a sophisticated, international flair to simple weeknight dinners. The spice blend offers a gentle heat that complements rather than overwhelms. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week to use as a quick flavor booster for stir-fries or roasted root vegetables.

Note

Allow the marinade to sit for at least 15 minutes before using to let the flavors meld together.

For a stronger flavor, let the mixture steep for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Use within 24 hours for best results, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Can be used as a marinade for chicken, beef, pork, or tofu. Discard any marinade that has touched raw meat unless boiled for 2 minutes first.

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the red wine with grape juice or pomegranate molasses diluted with water.
