Marmite, the iconic yeast extract spread, is known for its distinctive taste that people either love or hate. However, beyond being a spread for toast, Marmite has some surprising culinary applications. Here are three surprising uses for Marmite.

Give Soups And Stews A Boost

One unexpected use for Marmite is as a flavor enhancer in soups and stews. A small spoonful of Marmite can add a rich, umami depth to broths and sauces, intensifying the flavors and providing a savory boost without overwhelming the dish. This makes it a handy ingredient to have on hand for elevating your home-cooked meals.

Marinades and Meat Glazes

Another surprising use for Marmite is in marinades and glazes for meats. Its strong, salty flavor works exceptionally well with roasted or grilled meats, particularly beef and chicken. Mixing Marmite with ingredients like honey, soy sauce, and garlic creates a flavorful marinade that imparts a unique savory-sweet taste and helps to tenderize the meat. When used as a glaze, Marmite can add a beautiful caramelized finish to your roasts, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.

Adding to Pastries

Lastly, Marmite can be used in baking to add depth and complexity to sweet and savory pastries. For instance, adding a teaspoon of Marmite to cheese scone dough can enhance the cheesy flavor and provide a subtle umami kick. Similarly, incorporating Marmite into bread dough or savory muffins can result in baked goods with a richer taste profile.
