Kebab - a dish so ubiquitous andit seems that even a child can fry it. However, the main trick is to prepare the marinade. A good fragrant marinade is a guarantee that the meat will be odorous, soft, intoxicatingly tasty.
Kebab with squash
Make a kebab of any meat - lamb andlamb, pork and beef. Even from sausages and wieners. But the chicken is very advantageous in this regard. Chicken meat is softer than other varieties, it can be quickly marinated, and the process of frying is not as long as, for example, in pork. And, of course, every owner (they say, this dish of women's hands does not tolerate!) Has his own cherished recipe on how to cook marinade for chicken kebab. We also share some original ideas. We will need 4 young medium-sized zucchini per pound of breasts or thighs. They need to be cleaned and cut into thin plates along. In addition, you will need coriander (you can spare it, the kebab will only come out better); fresh mint leaves (handful); 5 cloves of garlic, large; 5-6 large onions (cut into small half rings). Even in this marinade for chicken skewers add juice (freshly squeezed, that is, natural) of 1 lemon and zest from it. And finally, black pepper, salt (all this to taste), vegetable oil. Now cooking. Meat cut into small portions, put in an enamel bowl or pan. Squash strips are sent for half a minute to salted boiling water for blanching, then remove and let drain. We prepare the marinade for chicken kebab. To do this, all components, except oil, should be ground with a blender into a single compound mass. Pour in oil, mix. Add zucchini to the meat and fill the marinade. Close the container and hold for 1-1.5 hours. The marinade for chicken kebabs will also soak zucchini, which will acquire a pleasant spiciness and rich taste. After the time on the skewers strung the meat and between its pieces strips of zucchini, fry, turning, from 5 to 10 minutes until ready. Sprinkle with herbs when serving. Good is a dish with ketchup, sweet and sour tomato or tomato-sour cream sauce.
Honey Marinade
Unusual, but very tastymarinade for chicken skewers with honey. It should be prepared this way: chop 3-4 slices of garlic, put it in a saucepan; pour 3 spoons of honey into the same place (table, any sort, if thickened - warm slightly to thin a little); Add your favorite ketchup, 5 tablespoons. Just do not take the sharp - marinade, and so will be quite peppered. But garlic or with paprika - the most it. This marinade recipe for chicken kebab includes Worcestershire sauce - 4 spoons. However, if you don’t have one at hand, do it easier: mix mayonnaise with mustard (you can 1: 1), and send it to the other components.
Для остроты всыпьте 2 чайные ложечки острого ground pepper and salt the marinade to your liking. Well mix everything up. Cut the meat into portions. If you are cooking chicken breast skewers, the marinade should soak the meat for about 30-40 minutes. The same time is enough for processing chicken drumsticks. But pork or lamb marinate need at least a night. Then we do everything as usual: we will string skewers on skewers. You can put slices of fresh tomatoes and fresh onion rings between the pieces of meat. To fry not for long, turning over so that the dish is not burnt. Serve with parsley, fresh or pickled cucumbers.
Enjoy your picnic!
