Opening The Picnic Season: Spices For The Grill

The picnic season has begun, which means it's time for barbecue and grilled treats.

The picnic season has begun, which means it's time for barbecue and grilled treats. We have prepared for you a guide to the combination of spices and meat so that your trip to nature is a success for 5 points! 

Although today you can find a whole section of spices “for chicken”, “for pork”, “for beef”, “for lamb” and many others in any supermarket today, our main strong advice is: buy fresh seasonings separately and mix them yourself! This is how you get the best result. Remember: salt and pepper are the main seasonings of any dish, mix the rest of the spices in any proportions to taste.

 

Spices that are suitable for all types of meat: pepper (red, black, allspice), cloves, marjoram, thyme, cumin, turmeric, cumin, oregano, mustard, onion, garlic.

Coriander, rosemary, nutmeg, suneli hops ideally complement pork.

Parsley, basil, thyme and ginger are best combined with beef.

Thyme, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, curry perfectly complement the bird.

Standard (mandatory) set of spices for marinating barbecue: all types of peppers (you can take a mix), barberry, marjoram, nutmeg, cumin, ginger, cardamom, bay leaf.
