Classic marinade for shish kebab
Marinade for pork in the oven, as well as for cooking shish kebab, is traditionally prepared with onion and freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you keep the meat in it overnight, the cooking process will make it juicy and tender in taste.
To prepare this gastronomic masterpiece you need the following products: 1 kg of pork pulp, lemon, three onions, one tea. a spoonful of coriander, as well as salt, a blend of peppers and curry.
Advice! Don't skimp on the onions! Pork really “loves” this whiny vegetable.
So, wash the pork and cut it into medium-sized portions. Pat the meat pieces with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Peel the onion and chop it into rings. Their optimal thickness is half a centimeter.
Remove the peel from the lemon and squeeze the juice out of it in any convenient way. Salt the pork, sprinkle the meat with curry, peppers, and coriander, stir. Add lemon zest to the meat. Place onion rings over the meat. Pour lemon juice over everything. Cover the container with the pork and leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

First, peel the onion and chop it into rings. Pour soy sauce over the onions, add oil, as well as all the above-mentioned seasonings and spices.

Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for an hour, covering the container with cling film. During this time, the ribs need to be turned over a couple of times and, as they say, massaged.
