Making a juicy and crunchy kebab is not so difficult if you follow a few simple rules. The main thing is to choose the right meat: it should be fresh and chilled. The most juicy kebab is obtained from a pork neck. For an ideal result, the composition of the marinade and the distance between the coals and the meat, which should be at least 10 centimeters, are of no small importance.
It is necessary
-
- For kebab in kefir:
- 1 kg of pork neck;
- 500 ml of kefir;
- 10 g sugar;
- 7 medium heads of onions;
- salt
- ground black pepper to taste.
- For shashlik in pink sauce:
- 1 kg of pork;
- 3 heads of onions;
- 100 g ketchup;
- 100 g mayonnaise;
- salt
- barbecue seasoning to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the chilled pork under running water. Do not take steamed and frozen meat, as kebabs from them will never be juicy. Cut the meat into equal pieces and place in an enamel or glass saucepan. The best option would be meat pieces measuring 5x5 centimeters.
Step 2
Chop 4 onions into rings or rub them on a coarse grater. Add onion to meat, stir, salt and season with pepper.
Step 3
Pour in kefir, add sugar and stir. Pork pieces should not be drowned in kefir.
Step 4
Cut the remaining onion into wide rings, place on top of the meat - you will need them for frying. Onion rings in this position will only slightly grab the kefir marinade, but will not become limp.
Step 5
Cover the saucepan with a lid, keep it at room temperature for about an hour and refrigerate for 10 hours. The more you marinate the pork in kefir, the juicier and softer it will be.
Step 6
Skewer the pork, alternating with onions. Fry on hot, but not burning coals until cooked. To prevent the meat from getting overdried, it is necessary to periodically pour water on it during frying. Never get distracted by extraneous matters while cooking a kebab. During the first five minutes, the skewers must be constantly turned over.
Step 7
Try making pork skewers marinated with ketchup and mayonnaise. To do this, cut the onion into half rings, and the meat into small pieces. Put everything in a glass saucepan and season with kebab spices, stir.
Step 8
Add mayonnaise and ketchup and marinate in a cold place for 7-10 hours. Salt the meat just before cooking. Skewer the marinated pork tightly on skewers and grill until tender over coals.
