| This term means many different things, but
they all have one thing in common: to give meat that special
something.
You can marinade it with lemon juice, like anchovies in
Liguria or South American "chevices". You can marinade
meat by soaking it in wine and herbs, such as with game for
example.
We also use the term marinade when we sprinkle oil, salt
and herbs over the meat.
But for cooking over an intense heat (spit or barbecue)
we recommend a particular marinade. About 24 hours before
cooking, put the Gallettos into a container with salt and
water - enough water to cover the Gallettos and 70-80g of
salt for every litre of water.
Keep cool, preferably in a fridge. Before cooking, remove
the Gallettos from the water, let them drip and proceed with
cooking. The meat will be juicier and more tender.
