They are able to tell a lot about the history, traditions and character of their people. Today we offer you to explore the popular meat dishes on the grill from all over the world together with the Forester brand.
Lula-kebab: loyalty to traditions
Juicy, tender and so native to us, lula kebabs are expertly prepared not only in the Caucasus, but also in Central Asia and the Balkans. And yet, nothing can compare with the beloved classics. We pass 1 kg of lamb and 300 g of fat through a meat grinder. Add 4 chopped onions, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 0.5 bunches of chopped coriander, 1 tsp salt and black pepper. By the way, instead of the usual spices, you can use the cooking set lula-kebab with basil and parsley Forester. The ready-made mixture of seasonings will give the meat a unique aroma and seductive subtle shades. In addition, the set includes eight wooden skewers, which are very convenient to fry lula kebab. Just be sure to soak them in water beforehand. So, we form neat sausages from the cooled minced meat and string them on skewers. Fry them over smoldering coals until an even brown crust appears, turning them over from time to time.
Souvlaki: a Greek hit
According to the recipes of kebabs from different countries of the world, it is especially pleasant to study geography. Greece, with its signature souvlaki kebabs, is no exception. Cut into large cubes 1 kg of pork. Mix the marinade of 100 ml of olive oil, 1 tbsp. l. wine vinegar, lemon juice, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tbsp. l. mint, 2 tbsp. l. oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Pour the marinade over the pieces of meat in a deep container and mix with your hands. Cut into thick circles of zucchini, prick 10-12 cherry tomatoes with a fork, put the vegetables to the pork. In this form, we keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Now you can string meat and vegetables on skewers. It is very convenient to use a set of skewers with wooden handles Forester for frying. Thanks to the special impregnation, the wood does not heat up at all, and you can turn the shish kebab without fear of getting burned. Do not forget to do this more often, so that the pieces of meat are well fried inside and out.
Asado: An Argentine passion
Argentina is famous all over the world for its incomparable asado steaks. To prepare them, we will need 6 beef steaks with a bone 3-4 cm thick. Lightly sprinkle them with salt and pepper, leave for 5 minutes. To properly cook steaks, it is important to heat the coals as much as possible. And in this case, the classic cast-iron grill, on which asado is prepared, such as the Forester grill, is indispensable. Due to the features of cast iron, its low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity, the steaks will be evenly fried and will not burn. The stable cast-iron grill is covered with a special heat-resistant enamel, which protects the meat from sticking to it. Steaks should be kept on the fire for no longer than 10 minutes on each side. And don’t forget to prepare the chimichurri sauce in advance. Combine in the bowl of a blender a bunch of coriander and parsley, ¼ bunch of oregano, a small onion, 7-10 cloves of garlic, 100 ml of olive oil, 50 ml of wine vinegar, 3 tbsp. l. lime juice, salt and red pepper to taste. Whisk all the ingredients into a smooth sauce — here’s the perfect pair for asado steaks.
Barbecue Ribs: The American Dream
Americans prefer hearty barbecue ribs to most grilled dishes. The main secret of the unique taste is in the signature marinade. Mix 300 g of barbecue tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of hot mustard, liquid honey and balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of tabasco sauce. For a brighter spicy taste, you can add a couple of cloves of garlic passed through the press. Chop 2 kg of pork ribs into portions, fill with tomato marinade and leave in the refrigerator overnight. We cook, of course, on a thermal grill with a lid and a stationary shelf — the dream of any American, and not only. This thermal grill can be used as a barbecue with a lid and a grill at the same time. The grill’s double heat walls retain heat and allow you to use less fuel when cooking. A very useful purchase will be a set for barbecue Forester. It includes a special spatula for turning, tongs with a convenient handle and a long fork with three teeth. This set will make the cooking process not only more convenient, but also safer. Cook the pork ribs on low heat for 40-60 minutes, turning them over periodically. And 10 minutes before the end, pour them with the sauce in which they were marinated.
Yakitori: a Japanese curiosity
Yakitori, or tender chicken skewers, is the hallmark of Japanese cuisine. Here, too, we can not do without a special marinade. Mix 3 tablespoons of soy and oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and rice vinegar. Add 1 tsp of starch and 2 tsp of sugar, whisk until completely dissolved. If you want to add spicy notes, put a couple of garlic cloves in the sauce. Peel and bone 5 chicken thighs, cut into small identical pieces, pour the marinade and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature. For cooking on coals, it is very convenient to use wooden skewers Forester. Just don’t forget to flip the yakitori skewers over the coals more often. Before serving, sprinkle them with roasted sesame seeds.
