If a trip to nature is organized suddenly and there is no time left for preliminary preparation of meat for shashlik, then experienced chefs recommend using a marinade from an exotic fruit - kiwi, rich in natural acids and sugars.
Kiwi pulp is excellent for softening cross-grain meat, especially when combined with carbonated water saturated with carbon dioxide bubbles.
Therefore, this marinade is suitable for tenderizing not only pork, but also beef and aged lamb.
Moreover, a mixture of kiwi and mineral water with spices and onions allows you to minimize the process of soaking the kebabs to half an hour.
And the choice of aromatic spices and herbs for marinating kebabs from different types of meat and poultry depends on the taste preferences of each picnic participant.
Ingredients per 1 kg of meat:
- kiwi - 2 pcs.;
- onion - 1 pc.;
- ground paprika - 1 tsp;
- a mixture of ground coriander seeds, dried cilantro and dill - 1 tsp;
- highly carbonated table water - 250 ml;
- salt - to taste.
Preparation
1. Peel and finely chop the onion.
2. Remove the thin skin from the kiwi fruit and mash the fruit with a fork until it becomes a paste.
3. Cut the meat into large pieces, season with salt, paprika, spice and aromatic mixture, mix with onion and kiwi pulp.
4. Pour soda over the future shashlik and place under pressure for 30-50 minutes.
5. Do not leave the meat in the kiwi marinade for more than 2 hours, as it may become very loose and porous.
6. Fry the shashlik pieces on skewers over hot coals, constantly turning the items over and exposing all sides of the meat cubes to the heat source.
7. Remove the skewers from the heat and place the meat in a separate serving dish.
Shashlik goes well with different types of unleavened bread, side dishes of cereals and potatoes, leafy greens and garden vegetables. And as for drinks, it is recommended to put homemade kvass, katyk, ayran, salty mineral water and sweet and sour juices on the table.
Enjoy your meal outdoors!
