What is served to a shish kebab at home and outdoors

In our country, shish kebab has become the dish that is most often cooked, leaving for nature. Usually simple roasting of meat, skewered on skewers, the matter is not limited, treats to this process is accompanied by a lot. It is assumed that people on the road are fairly hungry, and the time necessary for cooking should not be wasted.

At the same time, such a popular dish requires a special approach to the side dishes and snacks that make up its gastronomic background. In order to decide what to submit to a shish kebab, you need to assess the possibilities of the digestive system, and they, unfortunately, are not unlimited. First of all, this will help the experience of the inhabitants of the Transcaucasian republics, traditionally possessing a culture of consumption of spicy meat.

So, what is served to shish kebab in Georgia or Armenia? As a rule, sauce, vegetables and greens. No salad, olivier, sandwiches with sausage and herring on the Caucasian table do not coexist with meat baked on coals. The best sauce is tkemali, it unobtrusively emphasizes the aroma of smoke from fruit charcoal and fried lamb. Its sourish shade does not interrupt the taste of the main product, which is very important when the meat is good. An overabundance of pepper or vinegar is an age-old trick of catering workers trying to hide behind them "not the first" freshness of what they sometimes try to give out as a shish kebab, so do not be like them.

The shortage of time brings modern people to the point that they serve a shish kebab as a regular shop ketchup. It is better to cook it yourself from the mashed fresh tomatoes, cooked over low heat with herbs and a small amount of pepper. In any case, the sauce should not be too harsh.

Now about the garnish. The best option from everything that is served to a shish kebab is salads and grilled vegetables. It is enough just to chop the cabbage and mix it with onion, slightly flavored with sunflower oil. Dill, parsley and fresh cucumbers in this composition are welcome. Baked eggplants can be as in Georgian, cut into brackets and laid on the grill skinned down, and in foil. In the second case, it is recommended to stack them together with carrots, small pieces of potatoes and onion rings, so it will be juicier.

The king of all garnishes is onions. It is perfectly combined with everything that is served to a shish kebab. The onion should be present both in the marinade and in the design of the prepared dish. It can be baked on charcoal, pickled, simply cut with ringlets. It is so important that without it and shish kebab is not a shish kebab, but simply fried meat.

Garnish should be minimal, with potatoes or rice not very suitable. The task is to enjoy the taste of the dish, which is difficult or impossible to cook at home for most of our fellow citizens. Therefore, the table for shish kebab should be at least plentiful, but concise. Salad, pickled onion and garlic, bread or lavash, baked vegetables, a bottle or a jug of good red wine, that's all.

As for the dishes, then, contrary to the stereotype, one-time plastic plates are not the best option. Such an event, like going to the nature with shish kebabs, happens infrequently, so it's worth pampering yourself and your friends with something more interesting. An excellent option - a set of pottery, including a jug.
