Shish kebab with lemon and pork onion

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to marinate kebab with lemon and onions? Prepare the required amount of ingredients. Choose the meat part of the pork, without bones. It could be a neck or a ham. Take a medium-sized lemon and onion too.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and rinse in cold water. Wash the lemon under running water with a brush to remove dirt. One lemon will be enough. If you take more, the meat will be sour, keep this in mind!

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the prepared pork meat into pieces of a suitable size for barbecue. The pieces should not be very large, as they will not have time to bake inside. And if they are very small, they will simply dry out at high temperatures. All pieces should be the same size so they cook at the same time.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the peeled onion into thin half rings. To prevent tears from flowing when cutting onions, hold the onions themselves and the knife in very cold water. Remember the chopped onions with your hands so that the juice begins to flow faster.

5. STEP 5

   

   When marinating meat, choose a bowl of the appropriate size. It can be plastic, glass or ceramic. Add mashed onions to the chopped meat. Using your hands, squeeze the lemon juice directly into the meat. Add spices to taste. This can be a ready-made set of spices for barbecue or just ground black or red pepper. Navigate according to your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything well, cover with a lid or cling film and leave to marinate for several hours. My meat marinated for almost a day. For long-term marinating, place the meat in the refrigerator. And if you only have 3-5 hours, then you can leave it to marinate at room temperature. Stir the meat a couple of times while marinating. An hour before cooking, add salt to the meat to your taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Thread the well-marinated meat onto skewers tightly together and cook over hot coals, frying evenly on all sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the skewers all the time so that the meat does not burn. Serve the finished meat with fresh vegetables and salad. In addition, you can prepare any sauce. Enjoy your meal!

I had a kilogram of boneless pork loin. I decided to make shashlik with lemon and pork onions. At home I have an electric barbecue maker, so I cut the meat into small pieces so that it does not burn from contact with the heating element. From the spices I added coriander, ground black pepper and salt, and added the juice from half of one small lemon. My pork marinated for a little over two hours. It took me about 25 minutes to prepare the shashlik. The shashlik turned out very tender and soft. There is no strong lemon taste, but there are some light lemon notes. It turned out very tasty and juicy. Julia, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

The subtle aroma of lemon and, which is completely unusual for barbecue, nutmeg, add a special chic to a banal dish. Don't wait for summer, try cooking this kebab at home, in the oven or air fryer.

I like the taste and aroma of kebab with lemon. I always add it to the marinade. But I don’t particularly like nutmeg with coriander more often. Sometimes I add ready-made dry mixtures, which are ideal for meat, especially for kebabs. I chop the onion in a chopper or slice it thinly and I crush it with my hands until the juice appears.

No matter how much I cook shish kebab in the air fryer, the meat is always dry. It's probably the meat, but the fish turns out great!

Simply a wonderful marinade for soaking pork! The kebab turned out soft, juicy and appetizing. I got lucky with pork. The meat did not disappoint, and even an hour was enough for marinating. Only I also poured half a glass of sparkling mineral water (per 1 kg of meat). Thank you very much to the owner of the recipe, I definitely recommend this method of marinating pork for barbecue!
