Cook's tips

If you have the time, marinate a few hours longer (up to overnight) for deeper flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
