Lula kebab is made from a young lamb. But a really good dish will work out if you decide to cook pork kebab. Only for this it is worth taking pieces of juicy pork meat, but always without fat. Meat of the neck is very good. It is non-greasy and quite juicy. But the back of the pork in kebab is not recommended. As in the old days, meat according to the recipe must be finely chopped with a sharp knife. But how to cook kebab in large quantities, if we grind meat in such an old-fashioned way? The process is complex and time-consuming. Therefore, I suggest just skip the meat once through a meat grinder. Let's see the list of products that we should take.
Ingredients Required:
- pork meat, neck - 500 grams;
- onions - 200 grams;
- greens - 220 grams;
- cilantro - 60 grams;
- parsley - 30 grams;
- thyme - 70 grams;
- basil - 40 grams;
- tarragon - 20 grams;
- green pepper, bitter, 1 little thing;
- garlic - 50 grams;
- table salt to your taste;
- refined sunflower oil;
- a little cornmeal for breading.
Well, now, let's see how to cook kebab.
First, rinse the pork and cut into portions. Then we pass its pieces through a meat grinder (it is better to put the mesh with larger holes).
Onions can also be chopped with a meat grinder, but it will be better if you do not be too lazy and chop it finely. Pieces should be approximately 2x2 in size. mm We cut only part of the onion, approximately 100-120 grams. And the remaining onion must be cut into rings. We will start using it when the kebab is ready.
But under no circumstances can greens be passed through a meat grinder. How to cook kebab, if the greens are unappetizing and release juice? After all, then our dish will turn out non-aromatic, inaccurate. So, finely chop the greens with a sharp knife.
It is better to grate the garlic. Green pepper can be chopped or ground.
Prepared all the products. Now mix everything well and salt the meat. Stuffing should become viscous in order to stick well to the stick. Place the sticks in the water for a while so that they get wet.
Wet hands in sunflower oil and begin to form around the chopsticks chop. If the minced meat was made from lean meat, then it can be poorly attached to sticks. Then we should try the prepared cutlets in cornmeal so that the breading fixes the meat on a stick. But use this advice only when you decide to cook pork kebab.
Of course it is possible. make thin sticks for kebab yourself. But I advise you not to suffer, but simply to buy at the bazaar a package of Japanese chopsticks. Choose sticks with a diameter of at least 3 mm.
A real kebab is cooked on the grill, but this opportunity is not always presented. How to cook kebab in the apartment? Let's cook it in the oven. Only the oven must be warmed up well in advance. Putting prepared cutlets should only be in a well-heated oven.
Putting the patties on the wire rack in the oven, reduce the heat slightly. The hot air will first strengthen the shell of the cutlet, but it is necessary to cook over medium heat so that the meat remains juicy and does not dry out. You can flip once.
Cooking takes about 15-20 minutes. When you pierce a ready-made kebab with a sharp stick, transparent juice must come out. If it doesn’t come out, then you have overdried the meat.
We put the ready-made kebab, the recipe from the pork of which we just told you, on the plate. Now we need chopped onion rings. We put ready-made cutlets on the onion and sprinkle with onion and finely chopped greens on top.
Very often, thin pita bread is served on the table, into which, like in a pancake, onions are wrapped, a little chopped green cilantro, thyme and one sausage of kebab.
