Delicious kebab in a cauldron from Stalik (video)

To prepare tender and tasty kebab, the most important thing is to choose the right meat and fry it correctly.

Bon appetit!!!

Grilled dishes came to us from the Caucasus. The main thing in them is, of course, the meat. You can use pork, beef and even game, but the best kebab comes from lamb.

Dairy lamb no older than 2 months is best suited for these purposes. The color of the pulp should be bright red.

If the meat has a specific smell or a dark, weathered appearance, it is not suitable for barbecue. It is best to take chilled lamb - frozen kebab will be tough and dry. The meat should feel elastic to the touch, not slippery in any way and without protruding blood.

The ham is the most suitable part for barbecue, however, if the leg is very large, then it is meat from an old sheep. A good option for this dish is a cut from the back around the spine, loin or ribs.

There should not be too much fat: during cooking it will melt and only the veins will remain. When the meat has been selected, the time comes to take care of the marinade, the varieties of which will be discussed below.

Take the meat and cut it into large pieces. If you come across veins or large layers of fat, it is better to cut them out.

Place it in a deep cauldron. Then start preparing the marinade. Take large onions, peel them and cut them into thick rings so that they can be strung on a skewer along with the meat.

After this, wash the lemons and cut into half rings. Place the chopped products on the meat, add sugar, vinegar, oil, spices and mix the whole mixture well.

It is difficult to say, of course, which particular marinade is “the most Caucasian”, because in the Caucasus many families have their own recipes, and they are used to it being this way. But this is a very rich and tasty marinade, where tomato juice acts as a tenderizing agent for meat.

The marinade for lamb shish kebab is the most delicious so that the meat is juicy

Products:

  • Lamb – 4 kg
  • Coarse salt
  • Pepper
  • Onion - 1-1.5 kg
  • Mineral water (highly carbonated) - 1.5l

  • Onion - 4 pcs.
  • Pepper
  • Coriander
  • Honey - 1 tbsp.
  • Bay leaf
  • Dark beer - 250 ml.
  1. Cut up the lamb. Remove all bones. Trim off excess fat. You cannot cut out all the fat, because... it gives the meat flavor.


2. First cut the meat along the grain, and then across it into pieces of three to five centimeters.


3. Finely chop the onion into half rings. You can also use a blender and just make onion juice. Salt the onion

There is never too much onion. It gives all the flavor to the meat.


4. Salt the onion. And put it into the meat, while pressing it with your hands to squeeze out the juice. If you chop the onion in a blender, then simply add salt to the juice.


5. Add spices. Coriander - a pinch, cumin - two pinches, black pepper - two pinches. Don't be afraid of cumin, it adds an unusual flavor to meat. Break a couple of bay leaves with your hands, they will add flavor to the meat, and all your neighbors will salivate from the smell. Add honey. Pour in half a bottle of beer. And mix thoroughly.


6. Place the lamb under pressure. The marinating time depends on what part of the lamb was used. If it’s a loin, then 2-3 hours will be enough, and if it’s a leg, then more than 12 hours. Marinate at room temperature, but not under the sun.

15. Our sauce is ready. Set aside. Then we will pour it over the finished kebabs.

Grilling kebabs

16. Our meat has already been marinated. The lamb marinates very quickly. 15-20 minutes is enough. Let's go fry.

20. 3 minutes have passed, turn it over to the other side.

21. Fry on the second side, put a new batch on the grill, and remove the finished kebabs. In total, they fried for about 6 minutes on both sides.

22. We keep the second batch smaller so that it is pink inside, as some people like.

23. Pour the prepared kebabs with the previously prepared sauce.

24. Cut and compare two pieces. One was fried for 3 minutes, it was almost completely cooked. Well, maybe a little bit of pinkness is visible. The second piece, which we fried for 1.5-2 minutes, was red inside, but very juicy.
