While traveling through the Caucasus, I found myself hungry not far from Pyatigorsk. I couldn\u2019t bear to get to the city anymore, so my wife and I stopped at a small roadside cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region is touristy, so I didn\u2019t expect delicious food – in such places the food is often hastily prepared, since people will leave anyway and probably won\u2019t come back. But the kebab that I tried was simply great! I myself am quite good at cooking meat on coals, but this kebab showed me what level I need to strive for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choking on saliva and not letting go of the skewer, I approached the grill. An old Armenian stood there and prepared the next portions of delicious meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Teacher! – I turned to him. \u201cTeach me how to cook this kind of kebab!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSit down, dear, and listen!\u201d \u2014 the Caucasian answered…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistakes in cooking barbecue and how to avoid them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I actually asked Georgy Oganesovich about the secrets of making barbecue, and he shared with me several important points. Here are the main mistakes people make when cooking barbecue and how to correct them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meat selection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many people believe that kebab can only be made from lamb, but this is not true. Delicious kebab can be prepared from any meat, even pork. The main thing is that the meat is not too lean – carbonated meat is not suitable, it is better to take a neck with a small amount of fat. Fat is necessary so that the meat does not turn out dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the meat pieces is also important: they must be large enough to retain juiciness. The Greeks and Japanese prepare kebabs from small pieces, but Caucasian kebabs require large pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marinade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the Caucasus, meat is often not marinated at all, using only salt and pepper. If the meat is tough, it can be marinated in mineral water or ayran. Vinegar should not be used – it kills the taste of the meat. It is also not recommended to pour mayonnaise on meat. It is better to choose good, soft meat and not to overdo it with spices, so as not to drown out the natural taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Frying process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The main mistake when preparing barbecue is the incorrect frying process. Many people fill the grill with large coals, fill them with lighter fluid and throw the meat onto the hot coals. It is not right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The coals should be fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. It is better not to use lighter fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You need to fry on coals, which are covered with a thin layer of ash and become \u201clike Beshtau in February.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Maximum heat causes the meat to burn on the outside and remain raw on the inside. You need to cook on coals at medium temperature, when the flame has already gone out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
