Many people know that meat needs to be marinated in advance to get a great aroma and taste. But aren't there quick marinating methods?

We can recall an interesting marinating recipe that will allow you to get an excellent result in just 2 hours.

Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to act in such a situation.

What meat to use

The first step to a quick shashlik is the right choice of meat. It is best to use meat that quickly soaks in the marinade and acquires a rich flavor.

For example, pork or chicken would be great for this recipe. Of course, the meat should be fresh.

If it has been frozen, its structure has changed, so there is no longer any talk of good taste.

The best marinade

To quickly marinate shashlik, you will need a balanced marinade that will provide the meat with juiciness and aroma.

The ideal option would be a combination of:

• vegetable oil;
• vinegar;
• salts;
• chopped onion;
• pepper;
• spices;
• herbs to taste.

Of course, the amount of spices should be determined individually, as it is very easy to overdo it during cooking. It is better not to use mayonnaise, because its benefits are questionable.

How to speed up marinating

To ensure that the meat is well-soaked in the marinade in a short time, you need to use an intensive marinating process.

Simply place the meat in a tightly sealed container, add the marinade, mix thoroughly and leave in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

What cooking technique to use

Once the meat is marinated, it's time to prepare the shashlik.

It's important to use the right technique - grill, braai or outdoor griddle - to give your meat a golden color and delicious flavor.
