15 minutes

Tomato marinade for pork neck kebab is a true embodiment of Russian gastronomic tradition, combining the rich flavor of meat with the refreshing acidity of tomatoes and aromatic notes of basil. Tomato juice along with balsamic and wine vinegars makes the pork especially tender, allowing it to soak up the spicy bouquet of the marinade. The slight heat from chili pepper adds zest, while fresh basil softens and complements the overall taste. This marinade is perfect for making juicy kebabs over an open fire – it makes the meat tender and highlights its natural sweetness. It is best served with greens and fresh vegetables to emphasize its rich, intense flavor.
