Svibanjski praznici u Ukrajini tradicionalno se povezuju s pečenjem šašlika. Sunčani dani zovu u prirodu. I nijedan izlet ne prolazi bez piknika. Šašlik je vrlo staro jelo. U cijelom svijetu mogu se naći bezbrojne varijante pečenja mesa na otvorenoj vatri ili na ugljenu.
Šašlik je u ukrajinsku kuhinju vjerojatno došao iz krimske ili kavkaske kuhinje. U početku se radilo samo o pečenju janjetine. Ali u Ukrajini se najpopularniji ražnjići pripremaju od svinjetine. Meso se reže na komade srednje veličine, marinira i peče na ražnju. Tajna leži u posebnoj marinadi. Ovdje se mogu koristiti začini, mineralna voda, vino, ulje, sok od rajčice itd. Meni se najviše sviđa jednostavan recept s maslinovim uljem i lukom.

Sastojci:

• Svinjska vratina 2 kg
• Luk 1 kg
• Maslinovo ulje 200 ml
• Sol po ukusu

Priprema:

1. Meso narežite na komade. Luk narežite na polumjesece. Pomiješajte meso, luk, sol i ulje. Prekrijte prozirnom folijom i stavite nešto teško na vrh, na primjer, lonac s vodom. Marinirajte u hladnjaku nekoliko sati, može se ostaviti i preko noći.
2. Nabodite komade na ražnjeve i pecite na drvenom ugljenu do ukusne korice. Šašlik ispadne vrlo sočni s bogatim mesnim okusom.

Dobar tek! Smačnogo!

Shashlyk

The May holidays in Ukraine are traditionally associated with grilling shashlyk. Sunny days call people outdoors, and no outing is complete without a picnic. Shashlyk is a very ancient dish. Throughout the world, you can find countless variations of grilling meat over an open fire or on coals.
Shashlyk likely came into Ukrainian cuisine from Crimean or Caucasian cuisine. Initially, it was only about grilling lamb. But in Ukraine, the most popular shashlyk is made from pork. The meat is cut into medium-sized pieces, marinated, and grilled on a skewer (shampur). The secret lies in a special marinade. Spices, mineral water, wine, oil, tomato juice, and more can be used here. I most enjoy a simple shashlyk recipe with olive oil and onion.

Ingredients:

• Pork neck 2 kg
• Onion 1 kg
• Olive oil 200 ml
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Cut the meat into pieces. Chop the onion into half-rings. Mix the meat, onion, salt, and oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place something heavy on top, for example, a pot of water. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours, or you can leave it overnight.
2. Thread the pieces onto skewers and grill over charcoal until an appetizing crust forms. The shashlyk turns out very juicy with a rich meaty flavor.

Enjoy! Smachnogo!
