When planning to cook kebab, first of all, you need to determine the type of meat and marinade for it. In our country, it is considered optimal to use pork. This meat is affordable and well suited for this dish. However, marinating pork kebabs will not be as simple as choosing the meat itself. The fact is that there are a large number of different marinades, and the taste of the dish directly depends on their choice. One of the most optimal types of marinade is considered one in which the juice of fruits or vegetables is used, as well as natural acid. That is why pork kebab with lemon is very popular among true connoisseurs of this dish.
Ingredients
To prepare you will need:
- pork - 2 kilograms;
- salt;
- pepper;
- large lemon - 2 pieces;
- onion - 1 kilogram;
- ground ginger;
- mint.
Marinade preparation
This type of marinade suggests that it will be prepared an hour before use. It is necessary that all components are infused and soaked. At the same time, pork skewers (recipe with lemon and mint) will be marinated twice. The sauce is prepared from well-crushed, but not torn mint leaves, which are mixed with ground ginger and pour in lemon juice. In this case, the pulp of citrus is not thrown away, but cut into large pieces.
Meat preparation
As soon as the second marinade is cooked and infused, you should do meat. To do this, cut the pork into the necessary pieces, salt, pepper and put in a deep bowl. On top of it lay onion sliced rings. Pork skewers (recipe with lemon and mint) requires consistent marinating. In spices and onions, the meat should be until the second marinade is infused. It is poured into a pan with a barbecue, put the flesh of lemon there and put in a cool place.
Roasting
Next, you need to string future skewers of pork on skewers. The recipe with lemon suggests that the meat will be fried on its own, without onions and vegetables. If you still need them, fry them on a separate skewer. The meat should not be very adjacent to each other, but also should not leave a distance between the pieces. Skewers are put on coals only when they begin to become white coated. If desired, the meat can be watered with the remains of the marinade, but only to them, since other components will spoil this pork kebab. The recipe with lemon and mint is different because it does not tolerate additional ingredients and various inclusions. However, some gourmets add honey to the marinade, getting a light coating of caramel during frying, which can significantly improve the taste of the dish. Before conducting such experiments, make sure that everyone who eats barbecue accepts the addition of such an ingredient.
Innings
This barbecue is served on a skew, decorating it with fresh sprigs of mint. Its pleasant and unusual taste makes the dish a great appetizer for red wine or chilled vodka. As a side dish, fresh vegetables and baked potatoes are suitable for barbecue , although it is often used as an independent dish.
