Today we will prepare pork neck shashlik in Armenian style. The tenderloin from the neck part of the carcass resembles marbled meat, permeated with the finest greasy veins, which, after contact with hot coals, give the finished product an indescribable juiciness.

    Onions used in the marinade on skewers should not be alternated with meat, because... it burns when cooked))) cut the onion into half rings and add it to the already prepared meat with parsley or cilantro, as you like
