Funzionalità Premium
Espetada Mista boasts a savory, smoky flavor profile with a focus on highlighting the natural taste of the meats. Garlic, bay leaf, and salt are key seasonings, providing a simple yet impactful enhancement.
The core flavor is derived from the high-quality cuts of meat, usually beef, pork and chicken. The meats are marinated with garlic, salt (often coarse sea salt), bay leaf, and sometimes black pepper. The grilling process over wood or charcoal imparts a smoky char that complements the savory marinade and inherent meat flavors. The combination of meats allows for a variety of textures and tastes, making each bite unique.
Funzionalità Premium
Meat Selection
Choose high-quality cuts of meat, ensuring they are fresh and well-marbled for optimal flavor and tenderness. Different cuts of beef (sirloin, tenderloin), pork (loin, belly) and chicken (thigh, breast) will provide different textures and flavors.
Marinating Time
Allow the meat to marinate for at least a few hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply. This enhances both the taste and tenderness of the meat.
Flame Control
Control the heat of the grill or fire to ensure the meat cooks evenly without burning on the outside before it's cooked through. Adjust the height of the skewer above the heat source as needed.
Salt Use
Use coarse sea salt generously to season the meat before and during grilling. The salt helps to draw out moisture and create a flavorful crust.
