Legend has it that the famous navigator and explorer Christopher Columbus, arriving in the Caribbean in the late 15th century, was amazed by the tribes who prepared the caught fish and game by placing them on a specially made wooden stand over the fire and thus the meat was smoked and baked. The locals called this way of cooking "barbacoa". Columbus had never tasted meat cooked this way - directly on hot coals. The taste of the meat was so amazing and different with this smoky aroma that it carried this know-how into European cuisine.
To this day, this seemingly simple technology delights all connoisseurs of culinary temptations!
When spring breaks, the aromas of flowers and budding trees make us go out into the breathtaking nature, to recharge with energy and good mood for the coming summer, and barbecue is the attraction that brings everyone together. We can not resist the aroma that wafts into our garden from the hearth, which shared with true friends is an indispensable center of any garden party.
Whether meat or vegetables, barbecue is a favorite experience. But in order to be masters in this seemingly simple performance of cooking, we need to know some secrets that will help us not to get rid of good company, but what could be better than the shared emotion.
1. For a truly tasty barbecue, the right charcoal is also important, and it would be best to choose large pieces of oak or beech charcoal.
2. If you want to shorten the marinating time, do not leave the marinated products in the refrigerator. At room temperature, the marinade can flavor and taste much faster your chosen products.
3. If you have chosen squid for the grill, it is important to know that they do not tolerate long heat treatment. Bake on a preheated grill for no more than 2-3 minutes on each side - otherwise they become hard and tough.
4. When grilling shrimp in shell, you need to extend the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
5. For perfect baking of the products, the embers must be completely ready. How do we know this? When all the coals are lit, but the flame has died down.
6. When preparing skewers, make sure that the individual pieces are approximately the same size to avoid problems during baking, with possible undercooking.
7. It is good to grease the grill with olive oil for a few minutes before putting the products to be baked so that they do not stick.
8. When roasting fish, use wider spatulas for easier turning.
