ITALIAN MARINADE



Italian Marinade image

Spiedies, grilled skewers of meat marinated in what amounts to Italian dressing, are a culinary mainstay of bars and roadhouses in and around Binghamton, N.Y. What follows is a recipe for the marinade used to prepare them for the fire. I have used fresh herbs, though dried ones are more traditional, and have upped the flavor slightly with the use of lemon zest. Once you've got the marinade made, simply cut the meat - chicken or beef, lamb or pork - into 1- or 2-inch cubes, and submerge it in the liquid for a couple of days (10 to 12 hours for chicken), covered, in the refrigerator. All that lemon and vinegar does some work on the meat, and the result, when grilled over charcoal for four or five minutes a side, is a fantastical taste of upstate New York, and a very simple and excellent dinner besides. (Here are instructions for cooking them.) Serve with torn mint and an additional drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil, on top of Italian bread or alongside rice.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your tilapia its flavor, so make sure to use one that you enjoy. The Italian dressing marinade in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use a different marinade of your choice.
  • Marinate the tilapia for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Marinating the tilapia for too long can make it tough.
  • Cook the tilapia over medium heat. Cooking the tilapia over high heat will make it dry and overcooked. Medium heat will allow the tilapia to cook through without drying out.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include rice, potatoes, vegetables, and salads.

Conclusion:

Italian dressing marinated tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the tilapia with flavor, and the fish cooks quickly and easily. Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides and enjoy!
