All You Need to Know About Shashlik,Choosing Meat for The All You Need to Know About Shashlik Shashlik is a hugely popular picnic food across Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Russia. Alternatively known as shish kebab, it simply consists of marinated meat grilled over hot coals and has been part of Central Asian food culture for thousands of years, with variations of this dish being popular with the Romans! Although it’s hugely popular in Russia nowadays, this food has only been a large part of Russian food culture since the late 19th century when it quickly became a local favorite in St. Petersburg and other large cities throughout the country. The simplicity of this dish has made it a modern favorite around the world, and if you haven’t tried it before, we think it’s about time you did! What is Shashlik? Shashlik is traditionally made using lamb or goat meat, but nowadays variations include pork, chicken, and beef. It’s made by marinating cubes of meat in a yogurt or vinegar-based sauce that penetrates the meat due to its acidity, infusing the flavor and tenderizing the meat. The cubes are threaded on a skewer and then grilled over hot wood or coals until cooked through and slightly charred on the outside. Depending on the region, vegetables such as onion, bell pepper, tomato, or mushrooms are added to the skewer to create a variety of flavors. It’s also usually served with either flatbreads or rice, again, depending on the region. The great thing about shashlik is that it’s a sociable food, with large families and groups of friends gathering in local parks and outdoor areas for a shashlik grill in many Central Asian countries – much like a cookout or grill here in the US! How to make traditional Russian shashlik at home Making shashlik at home is not difficult, but it does take some organization and preparation, so it’s important to get everything sorted well ahead of time to allow for marinating and planning! Ingredients: 1lb boneless lamb (or beef) – cut into 2-inch cubes (they will shrink when cooking), 1 onion – sliced, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, ¼ cup red wine (dry), 3 cloves garlic – chopped, ½ teaspoon of ground cilantro, ¼ teaspoon chili powder, ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley – chopped, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, ¼ cup vegetable oil. How to make: In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. Then cover and allow to stand in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) Pick out the meat chunks from the marinade, keeping the marinade for basting. Thread the meat evenly on four metal skewers – adding in vegetables if you’d like to make the kebabs go further and to add some variation. Get a charcoal grill going, ensuring that the coals turn white. Place the skewers across the grill, using a meat brush to add extra marinade for the first 5 minutes of cooking. If you don’t have a grill (or it’s storming or snowing outside), you can place the skewers in the oven at 425F for around 20 minutes – turning once after 10 minutes. Ensure the meat is cooked right through (about 15 minutes) and serve immediately. Shashlik is proof that the simple dishes are truly the best, and there are few that are better than this one! If you’re looking for something a little different this summer, why not bring some homemade shashlik to your family grill or picnic? It’s simple, easy, and incredibly tasty. What’s more, NetCost Market has a great selection of high-quality ingredients for making the best shashlik, so head down to your nearest NetCost Market to get everything you need to make this brilliantly tasty dish! Choosing Meat for The Grill Putting on a BBQ is like holding a theater performance, with the meat as the star of the show and the grill meister as the director! And like any performance, you want the best possible showman in your starring role. This is why it’s important to ensure you do your research to find the best cuts of meat for your BBQ. To make this choice easier, we have compiled some key tips that if followed, will make your BBQ run without a hitch… at least in the food quality department, we’re leaving the grilling to you! The simple and obvious – BBQ classics like burgers, hotdogs, chicken thighs and wings should not be overlooked! Everyone loves these classic comfort foods, and what’s better is they’re very simple and easy to cook. Think of them as the supporting cast to your performance; they’re not the main attraction, but they will keep the interest of your guests while they wait. To really impress, make your own burgers at home using a base of high-quality beef mince, salt, and pepper, and you’ll never go wrong! Explore new additions every time to keep your burgers interesting. For a small audience – For a small crowd, Rib-eye steak is perfect. The marbled fat that runs through this cut gives it a rich flavor but means it keeps its texture even when cooked well-done. It should not be undercooked (anything less than medium-rare), as this will not give the fat a chance to melt into the soft tender meat. Due to the price of this cut, you may want to keep it for an exclusive crowd of a select few. For a larger crowd – So, you’ve invited over 25 people for a great summer BBQ and you’ve just realized you don’t know what to cook for so many people! Never fear, there are cuts perfectly designed for such an occasion. The two we would suggest are beef brisket, which slow-grilled turns into the melt-in-your-mouth ultimate luxury, and pork belly, which grilled with a classic BBQ sauce goes down a treat! What’s better is that these cuts are relatively inexpensive. Just be aware that due to their high-fat content, they will shrink to almost half the size, so make sure you buy enough to feed EVERYONE! The grand finale! – You know your way around burgers, rib-eye, brisket, and belly and now it’s time for the final curtain; the ultimate end to a BBQ. We suggest whole beef or pork tenderloin. The sight of the whole cut sizzling away on the grill is awe-inspiring in itself, but the soft, fall-apart texture and the smooth meaty flavor of these cuts really take the party to a whole new level. You’ll have people talking about your infamous BBQ for years to come! So, there you have it, BBQing is like putting on a stage show…kind of. Either way, we hope you’ve found some of these tips useful and inspiring, and that they will bring together your friends and family for some truly awesome BBQs this summer! Best Meats, Cuts and Seafood for Your BBQ Memorial Day falls on May 29 this year, and we expect that most of you out there will be enjoying the national holiday with a customary BBQ in the sunshine (we hope). To ensure you host the best BBQ this year, we are going to give you some invaluable knowledge about what meats, cuts, and fish work best on the BBQ. Beef: No BBQ is complete without beef. The rich flavor and texture (in our opinion!) is matched by no other meat. Beef is often and with good reason the key part of the Memorial Day dish of the day! Brisket – This cut comes from the shoulder at the front of the animal. It is a firm cut that is best done slow cooked, under a BBQ hood. Doused with rich BBQ sauce, this cut soaks up smoky flavors from the BBQ well, while providing a beautiful melt in the mouth texture. Ribeye Steak – Ribeye is a juicy, high flavor cut of beef that is ideal for the BBQ. The marbled fat melts into the meat as it cooks, adding to the flavor of the meat while also ensuring it doesn’t dry out during the process of grilling. Best served Medium to well done. Pork: Pork has a delicate flavor and tender texture, it responds very well to marinades and glazes such as honey, maple & mustard and balsamic. Loin Roast – An often overlooked cut for the BBQ, the Loin is perfect for cooking over an indirect heat. This cut keeps its texture well while holding in the meat juices for a full flavor cut. Back Ribs – Ribs are a BBQ classic, and rightly so! The fat and bone in this cut packs flavor into the meat, and the soft, supple texture makes this cut the pinnacle of BBQing perfection. Cook on the BBQ for about 30 minutes, brushing with BBQ sauce or glaze generously to prevent burning. Great for sharing with friends and family. Chicken: For those that prefer the delicate flavor of chicken, there are plenty of great options for the BBQ that make this meat a must buy! Whole Leg (skin on) – the whole leg (drumstick and thigh) is a tasty cut as flavor enters the meat from the fat and skin from one side, and the bone from the other. Add a jerk or BBQ rub to the skin for extra flavor, and make sure you leave the skin on for the meat to lock in the tasty juices. Chicken Breast Kebabs – Dicing chicken breast and adding it to a metal skewer is a great way of making smoky, charred and healthy chicken kebabs. Marinade them in a tasty yogurt and mint dip to lock in the moisture and add flavor to the delicate texture of the breast.

  • Boom in Goat and Sheep Sectors As Affluence Grows
    SECTOR REPORT – FRESH MEAT Boom in goat and sheep sectors as affluence grows Higher incomes, religious customs and cultural events have been driving demand for goat and sheep meat, ARIEF FACHRUDIN and the Aqiqah Al-Hafiz processes 20-30 sheep per week to meet Asian Agribiz team find. demand for aqiqah. 2 ASIAN MEAT MAGAZINE – March/April 2020 Increasing demand for goat meat has been driving growth in Vietnam’s goat population. Official data shows that from 2016-19, the market grew by an average of 18% per year. In 2018 alone, it increased by a quarter on the back of strong sales in China. Last year, goat numbers reached 2.8 million heads, an increase of 15% over 2018. Most goat production takes place in Ninh Binh province in the north and south-central Ninh Thuan province. Capacities at farms in these two regions range from 1500-3000 heads, and from 15-20 animals. Pham Van Hung, owner of a 3000-head goat farm in Lam Dong, told Asian Meat Magazine that goats are happy in Vietnam’s harsh, arid and hilly conditions. “Yet we don’t yet have widespread commercial production. The main problem is a lack of high-quality breeding goats and an effective farming model,” Mr Hung said. “We have to import breeding goats. This raises production cost to beyond consumer affordability.” Perception Concerns over food safety, a growing issue in Vietnam, have helped drive goat meat sales. “Consumers think that goat meat is extremely safe, with no antibiotics and banned substances, while also rich in nutrients,” said Mr Hung.

  • Carcass Yield and Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Japanese Quail Meat
    ISSN 1023-1072 Pak. J. Agri., Agril. Engg., Vet. Sci., 2017, 33 (1): 111-120 CARCASS YIELD AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF JAPANESE QUAIL MEAT F. N. Awan1, A. H. Shah1, A. H. Soomro2, G. S. Barahm1 and S. G. Tunio1 1 1Departgment of Animal Products Technology, 2Institute of Food Science and Technology, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, Pakistan ABSTRACT The use of poultry meat and its products has grown throughout the world. Over the last few years, quail (C. coturnix) meat has attained much attractiveness among consumers. During present study twenty (n=20) Japenese quails were purchased and carcass yield and physico-chemical characteristics of meat were determined. Carcass yield, physico-chemical characteristics such as pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, protein, fat, ash, glycogen and calorific value were determined according to the established methods. The results revealed that the average carcass yield in group A (69.52±0.42%) was statistically lower (P< 0.05) to that of group B (72.16±0.73%) whereas the pH values in both groups were non-significant (group A, 6.44±0.06%; group B, 6.52±0.04%). The difference in water holding capacity and cooking loss of quail meat in two groups was found non-significant (P> 0.05). Average drip loss in quail meat of group A (2.64±0.26%) was remarkably higher than that of group B (2.62±0.25%). The protein content of quail meat in group B (21.21±0.58%) was significantly (P> 0.05) higher than group A (19.40±0.49%).

  • Dog Meat Politics in a Vietnamese Town
    DOG MEAT POLITICS IN A VIETNAMESE TOWN Nir Avieli Ben Gurion University In 1999 there were only two semi-clandestine dog-meat restaurants in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. In 2004 there were dozens, serving mostly men of the new middle class. This article explores the sudden popularity of dog meat in Hoi An and discusses its meanings. Based on traditional forms, eating dog meat expresses masculinity. While class distinctions, religious propensities, and pro- cesses of modernization shape local attitudes regarding this culinary trend, the overarching theme that explains the sudden proliferation of dog-meat restau- rants in Hoi An is political and has to do with the diners’ attitude towards the regime: eating dog meat expresses political allegiance, while avoiding it indi- cates disdain. (Dog meat, politics, masculinity, Confucianism, Vietnam) Dog-meat restaurants and eating dog meat have long been popular in the North of Vietnam, but not in the Center and South. In 1999, there were only a couple of places serving dog meat in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. One was hidden in a maze of alleys beyond the town’s ancient quarter; the other was located outside the town, by a small country road. The signs for both restaurants read “Thit Cay” and not “Thit Cho” (dog meat). Cay, according to my Vietnamese language teacher, “is a kind of fox and a euphemism for dog meat in the Center and South, used to camouflage places selling dog meat.” But in 2004, there were dozens of eating venues throughout the town announcing “Thit Cho.” This rapid development of a culinary fashion stimulated exploring why dog meat became popular so quickly, and if any meanings were attributed to eating it.
