Spring, May, barbecue. Many people love aromatic meat fried on coals. And almost everyone associates it with a picnic in nature, good weather and warm company. There are many kebab recipes. Try another one - shish kebab marinated in pomegranate juice. It is very simple to execute and practically win-win.
It is necessary
-
- 3 kilograms of pork meat (neck);
- 1 bunch of fresh red basil;
- 1 bunch of green basil;
- 1, 5 kilograms of onions;
- 3 fresh ripe pomegranates;
- salt
- pepper;
- brazier;
- skewer or grill;
- coals;
- water bottle or spray bottle.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the meat thoroughly under running water. Cut it into about 5-7 centimeter pieces. If the size is larger, then the meat may not be fried, and if it is smaller, it will turn out to be dry.
Step 2
Peel and cut the onion into rings or half rings. To avoid stinging your eyes, periodically moisten the knife under running water.
Step 3
Chop the herbs. Try not to chop very finely. The knife must be extremely sharp - this is important.
Step 4
Cut each pomegranate in half. Squeeze the halves into a cup. Remove all seeds from the resulting juice.
Step 5
Place the meat in a large saucepan, sprinkling with onions and herbs. Pour in the pomegranate juice and mix thoroughly.
Step 6
Place the meat in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. The longer it stands, the tastier the barbecue will be. If time is running out, let the pork marinate for at least a couple of hours.
Step 7
Light up the grill. While the coals are burning, get busy with the meat.
Step 8
Salt and pepper the marinated pork and start stringing on skewers, leaving a distance of 2-3 centimeters between the pieces. If you are using a wire rack, brush the rods with vegetable oil before placing the meat in it. Meat can also be greased with oil - this way it quickly "grabs" the crust and, therefore, remains more juicy inside.
Step 9
After the coals are burnt, grill the kebab until tender, making sure that the dish does not burn. Make sure that the meat is cooked on charcoal. If an open flame appears, shoot it down with water from a bottle or spray bottle.
Step 10
After the pork is browned, check that it is cooked. Cut one piece and see if any pink juice leaks out. When the meat is done, remove it from the heat and serve.
Step 11
Serve the shish kebab hot along with fresh and charcoal-grilled vegetables, lots of herbs and pickled cheeses. For barbecue, offer tomato sauce, narsharab sauce, young tkemali and certainly good dry red wine.
