Marinade for kiwi kebab - tips, tricks
• Keep meat in kiwi for a strictly limited time. Kiwi has a strong softening effect, in the end, if the meat is overexposed, it turns out not tasty juicy pieces, but something similar to a paste. Depending on the amount of meat, beef is allowed to withstand up to 3 hours, pork - from an hour to two, chicken, turkey - no more than 40 minutes. Tender chicken meat can even start cooking 10 minutes after adding kiwi. • Meat, pickled in kiwi, cooks faster than another kind of kebab, so it is better not to move away from the fire during its preparation.
• In addition to the spices in the recipe, you can add something special to the marinade, do not be afraid to experiment. But, despite the possible creativity, during the preparation, it is better that you are sure of the taste of this or that additional ingredient, so as not to be disappointed.
• It is not necessary to add greens to the marinade, no matter how you like its taste. The fact is that during roasting, it is the chopped greens that burns, giving the barbecue an unpleasant, over-cooked color. It is best to sprinkle the fresh kebabs with fresh various greens.
• Vegetables and mushrooms, also cooked over hot coals, will be a tasty and unusual idea of the garnish. It can be zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, sweet peppers, cauliflower, mushrooms, wild mushrooms. It would be better if you prepare them in advance: peel, cut into portions that you need, pepper and salt, and sprinkle with vegetable oil, then pack it tightly in a container. At the picnic, all you have to do is lay out the vegetables and mushrooms on the grill rack or put them on a skewer and fry a little.
