Grilled skewers with tomato sauce (recipe no. 100)

Grilled skewers with tomato sauce: a delicious and flavorful recipe Welcome to recipe number 100! Today, I invite you to discover with me a delicacy that I love with all my heart: grilled skewers with tomato sauce. These skewers are perfect for an outdoor dinner or a party with friends and family. Whether it's a relaxing weekend or a special celebration, this recipe will surely bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. Let's start the culinary adventure! Preparation time: 30 minutes Marinating time: 6 hours (or overnight) Cooking time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 6 Ingredients for the skewers: - 1 kg pork (preferably shoulder, but loin can also be used) - 12 medium onions - 6-7 bell peppers (choose a variety of colors for an attractive appearance) - 200 g homemade ham (or another smoked meat) - 10 cherry tomatoes - 5 medium tomatoes - Spicy grill seasoning Ingredients for the tomato sauce: - 5-6 medium tomatoes (choose ripe tomatoes for an intense flavor) - A few cherry tomatoes - 5-6 hot peppers (adjustable according to preference) - 1 garlic clove - Delikat (or another preferred seasoning) - A pinch of salt - 1 cup of tomato paste Step 1: Preparing the ingredients The first thing we need to do is prepare all the ingredients. Cut the pork into small, thin cubes so that they can grill evenly. If you use shoulder, you will get juicy and flavorful skewers due to the natural fat in the meat. Cut the onions into rings, the peppers into large cubes, and the ham into suitable pieces. Make sure all the ingredients are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. Now, we have all the ingredients ready to start assembling the skewers. Step 2: Assembling the skewers Take special skewers (if you have wooden sticks on hand, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill). Start threading the ingredients onto the sticks, alternating ham, meat, onion, tomatoes, and peppers. I suggest the following order: ham, meat, onion, meat, tomato, meat, pepper, meat, onion, meat, tomato, meat, pepper, and finally a piece of ham. This combination will give the skewers a rich and varied flavor. Step 3: Marinating the skewers After you have assembled the skewers, place them on a tray and season them with a mix of spicy grill seasoning. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours (ideally overnight). This step is crucial to allow the flavors to blend and the meat to become juicier. Step 4: Preparing the tomato sauce While the skewers are marinating, we can prepare the tomato sauce. Choose a few ripe tomatoes and some cherry tomatoes for a special taste. Place them on the hot grill along with the hot peppers and let them cook until they become soft and slightly charred. After they have been cooked, peel the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add the chopped garlic, chopped hot pepper, salt, Delikat, and tomato paste. Mix the ingredients well, and the sauce is ready! If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use a blender to blend it. Step 5: Cooking the skewers It's time to cook the skewers! Place them on the hot coals and let them cook for about 25 minutes, turning them occasionally to brown evenly. You will smell the delicious aroma of the meat and vegetables cooking on the grill! Step 6: Serving Once the skewers are ready, serve them hot alongside the tomato sauce. They pair perfectly with a cold beer or a fragrant white wine. I recommend accompanying them with a fresh vegetable salad for a balanced and healthy lunch. Useful tips: - If you want a vegetarian version, you can replace the meat with large mushrooms or tofu, which absorb the flavors of the spices very well. - For a more intense flavor, add spices like paprika or cumin to the marinade. - Experiment with different vegetables: zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms can add a unique touch to the skewers. Nutritional benefits: Pork is an excellent source of protein and B vitamins, essential for our body. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, especially lycopene, which helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, a compound that can help speed up metabolism. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use another type of meat? Yes, you can use chicken, beef, or even fish, depending on your culinary preferences. 2. How can I make the sauce less spicy? Reduce the amount of hot peppers or replace them with sweet peppers. 3. Is this recipe suitable for indoor grilling? Of course! You can use a stovetop grill or an electric grill to prepare the skewers and sauce. I would like to conclude this recipe with a personal note: every time I make these skewers, I am reminded of the moments spent with family at the grill, where laughter and stories flow as freely as the delicious aroma of the food. I encourage you to make them and create beautiful memories with your loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
