Brine And Braise Meat Like A Pro With This Tangy Secret-Weapon Ingredient - Tasting Table
"Among the many sauces, seasonings, dry rubs, marinades, and more to choose from, the possibilities for flavoring your favorite proteins are nearly limitless. However, when you want to get your beef, chicken, or pork extra tender, choosing a liquid with acidic components is ideal both for brining and braising. One of the most effective ways to use up leftover pickle juice is to transform it into a mouthwatering brine or cooking liquid for meat."
"Though it's an ingredient you might ordinarily throw away, pickle juice is the easiest brine for baked chicken and so much more. Given its acidity and the presence of garlic, spices, and heat, this is a great shortcut for getting your meals prepped even more quickly. Use pickle juice as a brine, braising liquid, or both, depending on your taste preferences."
"Whether you're a fan of dill pickles, spicy pickles, sweet pickles, or any other style, there's an easy way to pair the brine with your favorite meats for a delicious dish. For example, Bubbies Spicy Kosher Dill Pickle Chips would make an excellent brining liquid for a tender and juicy smoked brisket. The spice and tanginess are a perfect match for the meat."
Pickle juice contains acidity, garlic, spices, and heat that make it an effective brine and braising liquid for meats. Leftover pickle juice can be transformed into a brine or cooking liquid to tenderize tougher cuts and infuse flavor. The liquid works well for steaks, roasted pork chops, and brining chicken for frying. Typical brining amounts are one and a half to two cups for two to four servings. When braising, add enough pickle juice to partially submerge meat without covering it entirely. Different pickle styles produce varied flavor pairings, including spicy dill for smoked brisket.
