To buy everything, invite everyone, choose a place, think over entertainment and, of course, do not forget about safety - undoubtedly, this is very important points. But many will agree that the most important part of any picnic is the menu.

And if you compose it correctly and put a piece of your soul into each dish, then the memories of the picnic will remain for a long time. Next, let's talk in detail about what to cook for a picnic, so that outdoor recreation will appeal to everyone without exception.

Choosing meat

Most often, meat becomes the crown dish of any holiday in nature. It can be barbecue or barbecue. The main thing is to prepare it on an open fire. And it is very important to choose it correctly.

Here are some tips to avoid making a mistake when choosing:

• chilled meat. You can not take a pair, as it can be hard. It is not recommended to take frozen, due to the loss of some taste. It is strongly not recommended to take re-frozen.
• the meat should be glossy, dry, elastic when pressed and without extraneous unpleasant odors.
• dark meat is also not worth taking, because it is most likely already simply old. Such meat is used only for soup, and even then not always.
• meat is better to take in one piece, and cut into portions at home.
• it is necessary to ensure that there are no pieces of fat or veins.

Usually pork, lamb or chicken are chosen for barbecue. Rarely beef. Here, too, it is necessary to take into account some nuances when choosing:

• the color of lamb meat should be bright. If it darkens, the meat is old. Suitable for barbecue: loin, tenderloin, meat from the back.
• pork is chosen light pink in color and always with a small amount of fat. Suitable neck, loin.
• for chicken barbecue, it is better to take a broiler chicken - it has the most tender meat. As for the part, almost anything will do - fillet, drumsticks, thighs.
• if you decide on beef, then veal tenderloin is ideal. Everything else can be too hard.

Proper marinade - delicious barbecue

In some cases, this may be a matter of convenience or simply a tribute to fashion. In a word, it's up to you. It is much more important to make the right marinade. After all, it depends on how tasty and soft the meat will be.

Wine, vinegar, tea, mineral water, kiwi, grapefruit, mayonnaise, spices, tomatoes, onions - this is just a small part of what can be used for marinade.

There are marinades that are suitable for any meat or poultry. This is, for example, vinegar with onions. Or mayonnaise with the same onion. These options are almost always win-win, and also do not take much time.

In addition, they do not require special cash costs. But still, it is better to choose a marinade more thoughtfully and carefully. And it is best to proceed from the type of meat or poultry you have chosen for barbecue.

So, marinades from pomegranate juice, kiwi or beer are well suited for pork. For lamb - kefir marinade or soy sauce. And beef can be marinated, for example, in wine. If you decide to make chicken barbecue, then you can make a marinade from carbonated mineral water. Or - cognac marinade.

Of course, one should not forget about classic options- marinades from vinegar, mayonnaise, onions, lemon juice, etc.

meat alternative

What can you cook for a picnic besides barbecue? Of course, in addition to meat kebabs, there are other types. For example, vegetables. Vegetables can be cooked both on separate skewers (skewers) or on a wire rack, or alternating with pieces of meat. For these purposes, almost any vegetables are suitable - tomatoes, onions, eggplants, bell peppers and others.

An interesting combination of vegetables with mushrooms. For example, with mushrooms. But there is one caveat. If vegetables can be fried both on skewers (skewers) and on a grill, then in combination with mushrooms it will still be more convenient to use skewers.

And, of course, do not forget about the fish. Which is better to choose?

The main thing is that it is not small and does not have a bright rich taste in itself. If the fish is medium in size, then it is fried whole, if it is large, it can be cut into portions.

As for the choice of marinade and its need - you decide. If meat absolutely needs a marinade, then with fish everything is far from so simple. Many people say that it is not needed. Because during cooking on an open fire, the fish turns out to be slightly smoked, with smoke.

But if you still decide to pickle, then you need to remember that you need to do this quite shortly before the start of cooking and it is better to limit yourself to something simple and unpretentious. For example, lemon, salt and fennel.

In any case, both vegetable and fish skewers are not only a tasty alternative or addition to meat, but also an excellent dish for vegetarian guests.

Diversify the menu

Of course, barbecue is a signature dish that will decorate any picnic. But do not forget about other dishes. First of all, it is, of course, vegetables.
