Pork Schaschlik

Maybe you don't picture your grandma making this dish in Germany.
But if my grandma was alive she would certainly have enjoyed this.

As my grandma sailed with her brother and sister and many others to America from Germany,
So did many others left their home land with their cultures and food ways and came to our Fatherland.

Many of my grandma's recipes came from other cultures as well. The beloved
Sauerbraten was influenced much by the Romans, Schnitzel from Italy, and spices
for pastries came from the traders Nuremberg was on the spice trade route.

When I think of Schaschlik I think about the spices in my grandma's Sauerbraten, Goulash, Pfeffernusse, Zimsterne and when others say German cooking is sauerkraut and sausages
I say, hmmmm have you ever had a German Schaschllik.

Blend the ingredients together and add the meat to the marinade. You can marinate the meat up
to 24 hours.

Cut up the peppers and onions. In this recipe I am putting the meat on one skewer and the vegetables on another.
I wanted to make sure the meat cooks evenly and browns nicely. Sometimes I have had the tip of a bell pepper keep the meat from hitting the grill.

I find these flat skewers hold the meat and veg nice and secure, they don't spin around when flipping.

Here I am ready to grill. I have the also added some Peppers that I found on special, some potatoes that I par-cooked, and some apple rings.
I core each slice with a melon baller and then hold them in a little lemon water so they don't turn brown.

Fire up the coals and and use a little oil or non stick spray on each item. Place the meat and veg skewers and cook them over
the hot coals. The potatoes, and apple slices toward the sides. The peppers I just want to char so I can skin them for
another meal

When the meat is browned you can turn it. The Schaschlik is done when it is 150 degrees F.
When it gets good and charred on both sides it is generally done.

You can baste it with some of the marinade.

 

I served this on a bed of rice, but my wife likes potatoes better so I did both.

Grilled apple rings make a nice garnish and contrast.
