Step cooking
- Well washed pulp (pork neck), cut into slices about 4 cm × 5 cm in size. The neck tenderloin is perfect for grilling kebab - the meat is soft, with layers of fat. Barbecue from the neck always turns juicy. Meat from other parts of pork carcass is also suitable for barbecue.
- Salt the pieces of meat to taste. Remember pork with your hands so that it absorbs salt. Remove the husks from 3 onions, cut the onion into half rings or quarters of rings (as you like). Put chopped onions in a deep bowl, salt (1 teaspoon of salt without a slide).
- Remember well the onion with salt in your hands until the juice appears. Tear 2-3 bay leaves into small pieces, put the pieces of leaves to the crushed onion.
- Transfer meat into a deep bowl with onions and bay leaves. Add 1 pinch of seasoning for meat to the bowl and ground pepper mixture to taste. Stir well the pork with onion, seasoning and spices for 2-3 minutes. It is good to take seasoning for meat containing hot red pepper, thyme, garlic, juniper berries, dry garlic. This seasoning gives the meat a special flavor. You can add dried tomatoes, sweet ground paprika, coriander seeds, other herbs and spices to your meat as you wish.
- Pour 150-250 ml of highly carbonated table water into a bowl. Water should completely cover the pieces of meat. Shake the bowl so that water seeps into the bottom layer of meat. The advantage of pouring from mineral water is that the meat does not change its natural taste. Bubbles of carbon dioxide help spices penetrate deeper into meat fibers, loosening, but not overdrying them, while preserving the richness of pork.
- Tighten the bowl with cling film. Leave the meat to marinate for 1.5-2 hours at room temperature.
- Thoroughly string meat on skewers, 5-6 kebabs are obtained. When stringing, shake onion strips, bay leaves from pieces of pork.
- In the process of frying, pour meat with a small amount of mineral water. Such an action will not let the kebab burn, the meat will turn out tender and juicy. Fry until cooked on well-burned coals on the grill or bonfire, periodically turning skewers to evenly fry the kebab from all sides. Serve with fresh vegetables, salads from them.
