Total preparation time: 1 hour
Marinating time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1-1.2 kg chicken thighs and breast
- 700 g thin pork sausages
- 1 kg pork chop/neck/thigh
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked, according to preference)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cube chicken or mushroom concentrate
- Grill spices, according to preference
Necessary utensils:
- Marinade bowl
- Grill
- Serving platter
- Toothpicks or kitchen twine (for sausages)
- Knife and cutting board
Step by step:
1. Preparing the marinade for the meat: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, mustard, grill spices, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. This marinade will give the meat a special flavor.
2. Preparing the pork: Cut the pork chop or neck into slices about 1 cm thick. Place the slices in the marinade bowl and ensure they are evenly coated. Leave them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This step is essential for the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3. Seasoning the chicken: While the pork is marinating, you can prepare the chicken. Season the thighs and breast with chicken concentrate, thyme, paprika, and pepper. Leave this in the fridge for 30 minutes as well. If you have time, a longer marination will further intensify the flavors.
4. Preparing the sausages: While waiting for the meat to marinate, use toothpicks to twist the sausages into small spirals or waves. This will not only make them more attractive but will also help them cook evenly on the grill.
5. Heating the grill: Prepare the grill for cooking. It’s best to have a well-heated grill, but not too hot, to avoid burning the meat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
6. Cooking the sausages: Start with the sausages, as they require more time to cook. Place them on the grill and cook until they are browned and crispy, turning them periodically for even cooking.
7. Grilling the pork: Once the sausages are ready, remove them to a platter garnished with lettuce and fresh tomatoes. Then, place the pork slices on the grill and cook until they are browned and juicy.
8. Cooking the chicken: After the pork is done, add the chicken to the grill. Ensure it is cooked properly, using a meat thermometer to check if it has reached an internal temperature of 75°C.
9. Finishing the dish: Before serving, bring all the meats back to the grill for a final "meeting" at heat, so the flavors can combine.
10. Serving: Place the meat on a large platter and serve it with mustard, pickles, fresh salads, or garlic sauce. Each guest can choose what they prefer. This is the beauty of a combined grill – everyone can personalize their plate!
Tips and tricks:
- Choose quality meat: Opt for fresh meat from local producers for better taste and texture.
- Marinating: If you have time, let the meat marinate overnight. The flavors will penetrate deeper, and the meat will be even more tender.
- Charcoal vs. gas: If using a gas grill, make sure it is well preheated. Meats will have a smokier flavor on a charcoal grill.
- Side dishes: Vegetable rice or baked potatoes are excellent sides for this grill. A summer salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions will also perfectly complement the meal.
