Shish kebab is very tasty and
nutritious, and really easy to make. Shish kebab is a meal made of any kind of meat: lamb,
beef, pork, goat, wild game meat, poultry and fish fillet, skewered and cooked
until tender on an outdoor grill. Cubes of fruit or vegetables are often
threaded on the skewer as well. Typical vegetables include tomato, eggplant, bell
pepper, squash, onions, and mushrooms.
You must choose the meat of the good
quality. The best choice would be young animal’s meat because this meat can be
prepared for shish kebab even without marinating. Poultry and fish are not
usually marinated. However, to give a special flavor and aroma it's recommended
to marinate the meat.
If you have the right recipes and ingredients, you can prepare a
meal that is sure to please.
The marinade is made by a given
recipe. The meat is marinated from 15 minutes to overnight. If the meat is
cooked without marinating, then small pieces of meat should be previously soaked
in a vegetable oil; bigger ones soaked in cold water. When you cut meat into cubes,
depending on their size, you should select a longer or shorter period of
marinating and cooking. If the meat has some fat, you should always turn the
skewer so that the fat seeps into the meat itself and not leaks down on the
coals of the grill.
The best shish kebab garnish is
fresh and marinated vegetables, various sauces. Shish kebab is usually served
hot; however, also cold, with a dry red or white wine.
Here’s recipe that you can try with the whole family to cook shish
