How to cook pork on skewers in the oven - secrets and subtleties
Any magically delicious meat dish must have 3 components: ingredients, cold cooking (slicing, kneading, pickling), hot cooking (heat treatment). Now let's talk in more detail about the intricacies of an ideal homemade barbecue.
- Preparing meat. Peel fresh meat from the films and veins, and still pre-frozen meat and defrost it in the refrigerator. But it is preferable to use the first option.
- Pickling. For pork to acquire taste and softness, it must be marinated. This will take at least 2 hours. But it is better to endure more time - 8-10 hours. We will talk about the varieties of marinades below.
- Skewer. It is more convenient to use specially designed metal skewers, since they are guaranteed not to burn during the cooking process. But you can also use wooden skewers. Then soak them in cold water for half an hour beforehand. This method will help keep them from burning.
- Barbecue smoke and aroma. To get the real smell of barbecue, liquid smoke can be used like from a barbecue. Its amount should be as follows: 2 tsp. for 2 kg of meat. But, you need to carefully experiment with it. It is preferable to refrain from using it if the food is being prepared for children.
- Foil. Are you worried that the pork will come out tough, then wrap it in foil. You need to wrap each piece separately, while removing the foil, preferably 10 minutes before cooking.
- Oven temperature. The ideal temperature for fatty pork is a maximum of 250 ° C. The high heat on the surface of the pieces will instantly create a crust. Then the liquid will not be able to evaporate from them.
You need to marinate the meat correctly, correctly selected products are half the battle. There are tons of options for marinating meat. For example, they use vinegar, lemon juice, wine, beer, soda water, kefir, sour cream, onion juice, mayonnaise. You can also use mixes or bake dry, by extracting your own juice. To do this, the meat is salted, peppery and heavily pressed by hands while kneading. But which marinade is better and tastier is up to the cook.
In addition, no marinade is complete without spices. You can buy a special spice "for pork", or you can pick up a bouquet of spices yourself. The best spices for the base of pork pickling include suneli hops, crushed bay leaves, curry, ground black pepper, garlic, onions, soy sauce, honey, mustard.
