Kebab making is not just a skill. Art! Today, there are dozens of recipes and methods for preparing meat. Many must have heard about the so-called "Armenian kebab". Some, perhaps, even had to hear that he prepares much faster than any other. The main secret and subtlety of the recipe for such a kebab comes down to the correct marinade. Just about him, as well as some other subtleties of cooking today, we'll talk.
We don't need wine, vinegar or mayonnaise to create the marinade. At the same time, a distinctive feature of the Armenian marinade is that it will be possible to fry meat prepared in it in 45 minutes. The recipe is based on unrefined sunflower oil. Also, for cooking, you need onions at the rate of 0.5 kg of onions per 1 kg of meat. Small heads are best. As for spices, in general, you can add any spices, however, allspice and black pepper must be in the marinade. It is recommended to add coriander. Spices are added strictly in the form of coarse grinding, you should not grind them. You need to add salt to taste.
So, pour 200-300 ml of vegetable oil into an enamel pot. We throw prepared spices into it. Mix the resulting substance well and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. While the oil is in the right condition, cut some of the onion into thick rings. Finely chop the other part, mix with a little salt and “crush” so as to get as much onion juice as possible. Throw all the onions in the oil with spices and mix well. The marinade is ready.
By the time the marinade is prepared, it would be nice if the meat for barbecue has already been cut. If lamb is used, then we cut it smaller. If beef or pork is used, the meat can be cut into larger pieces. The future kebab is placed in a container with marinade and mixed well there. The meat should be massaged so that it is thoroughly mixed with the onion. Then the meat can be strung on skewers and cooked. So why is Armenian shish kebab prepared faster than any other? This is because the vegetable oil begins to burn out during cooking and thereby contributes to better heating of the meat.
