Shish kebabs in the nature - the perfect dish for a picnic

By the end of the work week after hard work, each of us dreams of rest. I want to forget about everything, break out of the clutches of city life and enjoy spending time in nature with friends. It's nice after the noise and the buzz to enjoy the silence of the surrounding forests, listen to the singing of birds and breathe the fresh air full of intoxicating scents. As you know, during such a walk, appetite can develop, so no out-of-town outing can take place without a picnic. Outdoors, any dish seems tasty and appetizing, but the most win-win option is roast meat. Shish kebabs in the nature always turn out not such, as at home or in restaurant. Meat, cooked in the oven, of course, delicious. It is made according to all the rules of culinary art. But it lacks the most important thing - romance.

Shish kebabs in nature are not just food, but a real ritual. In the cooking process all participate: some build a fire, others plant meat on skewers, others prepare dishes and cover on the table. Time passes completely unnoticed. But it's nice then after a friendly conversation and a glass of good wine to eat a piece of fresh meat fried on the embers. Its taste can not be expressed in words. Here the fine aroma of spices and the smell of the fire are organically combined. A pacifying sounds and a light crackling of firewood create a unique atmosphere of comfort and tranquility.

If you are going to go to relax outside the city and plan to cook shish kebabs there, then it is necessary to take into account several tips of specialists:

1. Meat for kebabs must necessarily pre-marinate. Otherwise it will be tough and not tasty.
2. In no case should you take a frozen product.
3. When buying pork, beef or mutton on the market, remember that for a shish kebab you need that piece of meat that is best cooked: bacon. It should be fresh, soft, high-quality and moderately greasy.
4. If you like a bird, then take the wings or fillets.
5. For frying fish from a fish, tuna or salmon is better.

Shish kebabs in nature bring us back to the past, when a man first learned the magic of fire. In such a situation, a complete sense of unity with nature is created, when you feel yourself not a guest, but a full-fledged master of the world around you. Emotions overwhelm the soul, and you feel yourself on top of bliss. This does not happen in a cafe or restaurant, where food is the usual absorption of food. Therefore, meat on a fire can be considered a cure for boredom and bad mood.

In order to properly prepare a shish kebab, you need:

1. Choose good quality meat and properly marinate it.
2. To build a fire and prepare the coals.
3. Fry the meat properly.

The composition of any marinade usually includes:

• Acid (vinegar, wine or fruit juice of acidic varieties);
• salt;
• spice.

Sometimes, as an additional component in the marinade, vegetable oil is added. In this mixture, you need to withstand the meat, cut into small pieces, and then you can proceed directly to the preparation of the shish kebab. For a bird, a couple of hours are enough, and pork or beef should be kept twice as long. Some even leave the meat in the marinade for the whole night, although this is absolutely not necessary.

Now begins the cooking process:

1. Prepared pieces neatly string on pre-warmed and oiled skewers. Meat is worn necessarily along the fibers, so that it does not accidentally fall into the fire.
2. We have pieces at a short distance from each other. In between them we place vegetables (onions, tomatoes, eggplants or sweet peppers).
3. We have skewers over the fire. The cooking process should in no case be conducted over open fire. The flame must be dulled and fry the meat over the smoldering coals.
4. To evenly brown the skewers, you must constantly turn.
5. To ensure that the meat does not dry out, it must be periodically poured with melted fat or the remaining marinade.
6. Readiness of the product is easy to check. When piercing with a knife, the juice should appear in the place of the incision. If it is pink, then you need to wait. And if the juice is absolutely transparent, then the shish kebab is ready. You can simply eat it with tomato sauce or prepare a salad of fresh vegetables. Drink better dry red wine or juice.

Everything is prepared easily and quickly enough. In general, food in the fresh air is very useful and uplifting. A tasty meat or fish dish will certainly bring pleasure. But you need to take care of everything in advance, so that surprises can not overshadow your walk.

Indeed, the best way to have fun and usefully with a company of friends is a picnic in nature. What to cook and where to hold it, you can decide together in advance. Think about everything in detail: choose a good place, stock up on dishes, cutlery and, of course, products. In nature, vegetables, fruits, soft drinks and meat are necessary. What picnic without a juicy and fragrant shish kebab? It is necessary to take care of special devices ahead of time.

It is best to take a brazier with you, and also not to forget about skewers and wood. But if they do not prove to be, you can completely manage with improvised means. The brazier will replace several bricks, firewood is easy to find in the forest, and instead of skewers you can use ordinary branches. There is always a way out.

Meat dishes can be varied with various salads and sandwiches. They should be cooked at home in order not to waste precious time. And those who do not eat meat, you can suggest baking potatoes in coals, grilling the fruit or vegetables. In any case, communication with nature compensates for all the shortcomings.
