Making a picnic menu in nature requires special care. This kind of buffet in the open air should be prepared in accordance with certain requirements.
Indeed, most often a picnic in the country, the menu for which we will try to make, is carried out using a barbecue or grill. This allows you to use the opportunity to fry, for example, meat or vegetables over an open fire. In the menu for a picnic outdoors, several rules should be taken into account. Among other things, you need a table with vegetable salads, disposable tableware, a wide selection of sauces and a good supply of drinks.
Picnic Menus: Devices and Products
First decide what exactly you have as a cooking device. The fact is that barbecue, grill, garden fireplace and barbecue have their own characteristics that must be taken into account. Read the instructions in advance and prepare the device for use. When compiling a menu for a picnic in nature, remember that you can cook on the barbecue or barbecue not only meat products. As well as vegetables, fish, tortillas (they are perfect for meat with sauce). Wipe everything that you lay out on a roasting grate with a paper towel to remove excess marinade.
You can also grease vegetables with vegetable oil, but make sure that it does not drip on the coals. It is better to bake the whole tomatoes, make sure also that the peel does not crack on them, otherwise all the juice will leak out and they will lose a presentable appearance. Wrap fish and potatoes with food foil, and string mushrooms (oyster mushrooms or champignons) on skewers. When preparing meat, make sure that a crust forms - then the moisture will remain inside, and it will remain juicy. You can water the pieces with water or white wine. You can marinate meat depending on your preference. The choice of it also depends on your desire, for example,
pork ribs are very popular
. You can not pickle them, but grate them with seasonings and crushed garlic. It is important to remember that salt added to the marinade will lead to dry meat. It is better to submit to the finished dish separately. Remember to regularly flip any foods you cook outdoors.
Picnic recipe
To make barbecue pork ribs you will need two and a half kilograms of meat (for six people) and marinade (vinegar, five cloves of garlic, a couple of tablespoons of honey, cherry juice, tomato ketchup, vegetable oil and red ground pepper). Grind the garlic and mix all the marinade products. Cut ribs into portions. Put them in the marinade for a few hours. If you do not have time, then you can warm the meat in a pan for several minutes over low heat. This partly replaces pickling. Cook the ribs on a barbecue grill for twenty minutes on each side.
Children's picnic
The menu should not contain fatty, fried and spicy foods. Make sure that there is a lot of fruit, take pita bread. A lightweight version of barbecue for children needs to be prepared from chicken or fish, pickling these products with a small amount of spices and without vinegar. You can make mini pizzas with chicken ham and mozzarella.
