How to Hack Your Favorite Ingredients, According to Kitchen Sink
Learn can-do tricks for transforming everyday products into new, bold-flavored dishes.
Garlic-and-Herb Steak Marinade
Let the food processor do the work of whirling together this fragrant herb-scallion mixture, which gets a boost of bold flavor from fresh garlic and refreshing lemon juice. After letting the pastelike blend marinate the meat, be sure to wipe it off before you grill the beef, to prevent the marinade from burning.
Sweet-and-Spicy Shrimp Marinade
It's all about balancing flavors in this fuss-free marinade, which brings together equal parts spicy Sriracha, sweet honey, bright lime juice and salty soy sauce. Since there's a lot of sugar in this mixture, it's best to reserve it for something like shrimp, since the seafood cooks quickly and there won't be time for the sugars to burn.
Reuben Chips
Deconstruct your favorite deli sandwich, then reconstruct it in this layered chip creation that features chopped corned beef, tangy sauerkraut and, like any good sandwich, plenty of creamy cheese. Be sure to hold off on adding the romaine lettuce until after baking the chips, to keep the greens fresh and crisp.
