A delicious shashlik is not only the result of a successful marinade and a skilled cook, but also the right choice of meat..
In this regard, the expert of the online publication ‘BelNovosti’, chef Yulia Arkhipova decided to tell you what kind of meat is best to buy if you plan to cook a delicious and juicy shashlik from it..
If we talk about pork, the best options are the neck and brisket.
These parts contain enough fat – during frying it will ‘melt’, as a result of which the shashlik will turn out incredibly juicy.
The neck boasts a soft texture and delicate taste, while the brisket is considered richer due to the fat layers.
Tenderloin is no less popular, however, due to the fact that it has almost no fat, the shashlik turns out drier.
You can combine tenderloin with fattier parts or include butter in the marinade – in both cases, you will be able to increase the juiciness.
Finally, if you have to deal with meat from the back of the pork, be prepared for the fact that it is tougher and needs longer marinating.
