Shish kebab is a very tasty meat dish. It is believed that it should be prepared by male representatives. Probably, these are echoes of ancient times, when a man was a getter in the literal sense of the word, and all the food was cooked at the stake. But the fair sex can quite adequately cope with this task.
The recipe for “Shish kebabs with kiwi”
This is an easy way to marinate meat, which is suitable when it needs to be marinated quickly. That is, if you want to taste a barbecue in a couple of hours (and usually the meat is marinated for several hours), then we suggest you fry the barbecue with kiwi.
Essential Ingredients:- 2 kg of pork;
- 2 heads of onions;
- 1 kiwi fruit;
- fresh parsley, tarragon, basil, dill;
- salt;
- 2 bay leaves;
- spices (black pepper, coriander).
Cooking
For a quick marinade we need pork meat. Of course, it is better to use the cervical part for this. Shish kebabs with kiwi prepared from medium-sized meat pieces. We wash the meat, cut off the non-liked parts, cut into pieces across the fibers. Properly chopped pork allows you to ultimately get a good kebab - kiwi will give it a spicy taste. We put meat in enameled dishes.
We clean the onions from the husks and cut into thin half rings. We divide the semicircles of onions. Add to the meat.
Take a few twigs of parsley, tarragon, basil, dill. Grind and throw in a pan. We wash the bay leaf , break it into several parts and put it to the meat as well.
Sprinkle the meat with spices and salt. We peel the kiwi from the peel, grind it on a grater, add to the meat and mix everything thoroughly so that the onion juice enriches the meat. From this moment it is pickled. In this form kebabs with kiwi should be about half an hour. If in this composition pickle pork from the neck for a long time, then fruit acid will greatly soften the meat. It will be inconvenient to fry it, the taste and density will change. If you do not overexpose the meat in a fruit marinade, then the kiwi will not give any extraneous taste, but only make the pork softer.
This recipe can be used for meat of other varieties. So, if in the process of cooking it turned out that the meat is tough, then adding kiwi may well save the dish. Shish kebabs with kiwi can be cooked from pork from other parts of the carcass. There the quality of the meat is different - it is tougher. Therefore, it must be pickled longer - from 30 to 50 minutes. And if the meat of other animals is pickled in such a sauce, then it must be aged longer before frying. Lamb must be marinated with kiwi for up to 60 minutes, and beef - up to 90.
Pickled meat is strung on skewers or laid out on a fire grid. It is better to remove onions, greens and bay leaves that are in the marinade from pieces of meat, because these components burn up during cooking. The meat is fried, as usual, on hot coals.
We also suggest making a dressing for fried barbecue. Cut the peeled onion in half rings, add your favorite fresh herbs (parsley and tarragon will do just fine). You can sprinkle green onion seasoning with balsamic vinegar. Mix well and put on top on barbecue with kiwi.
Shish kebab is traditionally served with fresh vegetables, pita bread and sauces.
Bon Appetit!
