Every year, housewives try to surprise guests with aromatic and juicy shashlik, but the venture does not always end in success.
Sometimes the meat turns out bland, dry, or not tasty enough.
What are 3 secrets to help avoid this situation?
The right marinade ingredients for a beautiful color and a pleasant taste
It is very difficult to cook quality meat without marinating, so you should not skip this stage. In addition, you should know that some available products can have a positive effect on shashlik, giving not only a pleasant flavor, but also an interesting shade.
For this purpose, it is worth considering red wine, natural soy sauce, liquid honey, cane sugar, and tomato paste as the main components.
This meat turns out to be of very high quality.
Quality coal
Many people don't even think about the fact that the taste of the shashlik will largely depend on the coal and firewood. If you use the first boards or branches you find, then the shashlik will hardly be of decent quality.
Cooks note that wood from fruit trees gives meat a noble aroma. Using ready-made coal is also a good solution.
Location
Some people think that pieces of meat can and should be placed as close to each other as possible. This is a mistake. Such shashlik will not be cooked to the end, since it is impossible to provide the required temperature.
Therefore, try to leave a gap between the meat, which will be at least a few millimeters. With this approach, the shashlik will turn out decent.
