There is no more primitive culinary action than cutting meat into small pieces, putting them on a stick and cooking them over a fire.
But intuition will not immediately tell you how to cut different types of meat, how to season it with spices and how long to marinate it.
All this is carefully recorded in recipes. Among them there are not too complicated, and non-trivial options - like shashlik from catfish or goose breasts.
Many people like to add vegetables to a meat dish, because this way you get both shashlik and a side dish. Trying to save time, there is a risk of ruining the treat.
What meat is better to fry separately?
Not all types of meat are used for frying with vegetables. Pork or chicken are cooked separately, vegetables are placed on another skewer. In this case, an exception can only be made for onions.
The thing is that vegetables cook faster. While the meat is fried, tomatoes, eggplants or zucchini will turn into a liquid, unappetizing substance.
Exceptions
In some cases, the rule can be broken. If the meat cooks quickly, it makes sense to place vegetables with it.
For example, beef or a 3 x 3 cm cube of meat will fry faster. In this case, cooks boldly alternate the main ingredient with mushrooms, peppers, and zucchini.
