Marinade with kefir and mustard for pork

4 servings

15 minutes

The marinade with kefir and mustard is a delicate blend of spicy and dairy notes that gives pork juiciness and rich flavor. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where kefir has long been used to tenderize meat. Mustard adds spiciness, while coriander provides warm seasoning. The marinade makes the kebab soft and aromatic, revealing the natural taste of the meat. With prolonged marination, the pork becomes tender and infused with spices. It is suitable for cooking on both a grill and a barbecue, perfectly pairing with fresh vegetables and herbs.
