I've heard it pronounced the way Martha says it (mar-uh-nahd), and
Sara Moulton says it the same way. I've never heard mar-UH-neyd, which
you claim to be the correct pronunciation, but I have heard
MAR-uh-neyd. I think it's a regional thing, and I'm guessing that your
preferred pronunciation is a US thing.

How do you pronounce chiffonade? Or remoulade?

I pronounce it MAR-uh-neyd (grew up in Northeast Ohio, USA). Martha's
pronunciation sounds like it might be New England. I have never heard it
pronounced the way Julie claims is correct, so I checked a couple of the
online audio pronouncing dictionaries. Both of them used MAR-uh-neyd for
"American" pronunciation (although I think it's difficult to find one
"American" pronunciation for a great many words, given geographical
differences).
