  • Recipe by: Laura Sorkin
  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Servings: 1 cup

Bitters offer complexity in things like vinaigrettes and marinades.  Here, Runamok’s Aromatic Bitters are used in a sweet and spice-filled marinade that works for chicken, pork, mushrooms, eggplant, and tofu.  The subtle bitterness from gentian root rounds out the sweet maple and acidic cider vinegar. The ‘spiciness’ doesn’t refer to heat but actual spices like cinnamon, clove and allspice making this an all purpose marinade that is full of umami richness.
