Pork meatballs. Delicate meat braid "mood" for noisy companies and fun

Before that, we only knew cheese braided into a pigtail, but today we will cook a pigtail from meat. This dish is not only beautiful, but also original in its execution. These pigtails are made from pork. The meat itself is very tender and juicy, so the dish will be excellent. Yes, and cooking it at home is a pleasure.

Meatball Ingredients

Pork - 0.5 kg.
Onion - 2 heads.
Lemon juice - 0.5 pcs.
Salt, pepper - to taste.
Sunflower oil.
Pomegranate, herbs - to taste.

Preparing a meatloaf

Take a piece of pork tenderloin. Wash the meat well. Place on a paper towel and wipe off excess moisture. Cut into strips. We beat off, salt and pepper. At the ends of the broken strips, we make small cuts, with the help of which we will fix our pigtails at the end so that they do not fall apart. We braid the pigtails and fasten the ends with a toothpick. Put the pigtails on a dish.

We clean the onion from the husk and cut into half rings. Squeeze juice from lemon and mix with onion. We carefully coat our pigtails with this mixture and leave to marinate for 12-15 hours.

Pour into heated pan sunflower oil and put on a strong fire. We free the meat from the marinade and fry it on both sides until lightly browned. The meat should be golden brown. After that, the fire is greatly reduced. Add some water and cover our dish with a lid. We leave to languish until ready.

Next stage. Now we take out the pigtails and lay them on a flat plate. Sprinkle chopped herbs on top and decorate with pomegranate. We serve to the table and surprise everyone. In my opinion, no one would dare to refuse such a dish. Yes, if you want, you can cut it into pieces of 4-5 cm. Delicious delights for you.

meat pigtail- this is a new thread meat recipes, as they say, it's time to practice braiding! And we will do this not just like that, but with a double benefit, and we will braid the pigtail and cook dinner, if there is no time, then of course you can do it simply, but no! We are not looking for easy ways. Well, let's get started. First, let's figure out what we need. Leave your hair alone, we don't need it, and hide your wigs. We cook food, not play hairdressers.

So the list of ingredients for recipe for meat skewers:
Half a kilo of pork fillet (the top of the stegna is the very thing!).
One medium onion (onion).
Half a lemon (the second can be in tea).
A teaspoon of mustard.
Salt and ground black pepper.
Approximately fifty grams of flour (for rolling).
Pair of spoons vegetable oil(we will fry on it).

Recipe meat pigtail - preparation steps:
Well, have you collected everything? Okay, let's get started then. We take our pork fillet and lay it out on the board. We take out a kitchen hammer from the stash (if we couldn’t find one, an ordinary one, or a mallet, or something similar, if only it was clean!). We beat off the meat of the light-footed man over the entire area. The main thing is not to overdo it - we do not need a thin cake. Now salt and pepper on both sides. The only recommendation here - do it to your taste. Next, cut the meat into three strips, but not completely, but so that they remain connected on one side. After that, weave a pigtail from the resulting ponytails and fasten the free ends with a toothpick so that it does not unravel. We clean the onion from the peel and cut it into half rings. Next, put them in a cup or deep bowl and knead well so that the juice stands out. Add mustard and finely chopped half a lemon here. Mix everything well and knead a little more with your hand or a spoon.

We put the pigtails in dishes with sufficiently high sides and cover them with the resulting onion-lemon marinade. In this form, leave the meat for forty minutes. You can not put it in the refrigerator, nothing will happen to it. Unless, of course, you forget about him. After marinating, roll the meat pigtails in flour. We put a frying pan on the fire. Add enough oil to it. When it warms up, put the meat pigtails in the pan and fry them on both sides until fully cooked. After that, we spread a paper towel on a wide plate and transfer the finished meat to it to remove excess oil from it. The final touch is to remove the toothpicks - we no longer need them. You can serve it on the table with any side dish or fresh vegetables.

Cooking:

1. Rinse the pork, dry it with a paper towel, cut off excess fat and cut into thin slices (no more than 0.5 cm thick).
2. Lightly beat each slice, salt and pepper. Pass two vertical cuts (I used kitchen scissors) and weave a pigtail, securing the ends with a toothpick.
3. Peel the onion and cut into rings.
4. Put the onion, mustard, pork pigtails into a deep bowl and mix well with your hands. Cover the bowl with a lid and send to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (I left it overnight).
5. Then roll each pigtail in flour and fry in 2-3 tablespoons olive oil on both sides (it took me about 3-4 minutes on each side), covering with a lid. Put the finished pigtails on a plate.
6. When the last one is ready, reduce the fire to a minimum, return all the pigtails to the pan, add the onion in which the pork was marinated, and fry for another 5 minutes. Then turn off the stove, remove the toothpicks from the prepared meat braids and serve. Fried pork in the Pigtail pan is ready, bon appetit!
