15 minutes
Onion marinade for pork neck is a classic recipe of Russian cuisine that gives the meat incredible juiciness and rich aroma. The origins of this marinade trace back to ancient culinary traditions where onion was used as a natural tenderizer and flavor enhancer. Fresh onion pureed deeply penetrates the meat, making it tender and fragrant. Olive oil adds a silky texture, while a mix of Italian herbs and peppers creates an exquisite balance of spices. After long marinating in the fridge, the meat is ready for grilling over coals, revealing the full depth of flavor when roasted. This shashlik pairs perfectly with greens, fresh vegetables, and red wine, creating an atmosphere of warm gatherings and true enjoyment of food.
