Yakitoris with airfryer, bad idea?
Any japanese worthy of the name would do seppuku at the sight of the pic below. Traditionally, the japanese use a shichirin (long and narrow grill using binchōtan wood for grilling at very high temp.) to cook their skewers. But since we live in Finland, finding a working shichirin is easier said than done. Airfryer then!
We prepared a marinade with japanese teriyaki base sauce, sake, garlic, lime, a bit of sesame oil, and Shishimi Togarashi (japanese spice mix). Pieces of organic chicken have been left soaking in that mix for a couple of hours in the fridge, then cooked for approx. 12min, the time for the meat to reach 71°.
Since we still had a rack of pork ribs in the freezer, we decided to have it along the skewers, using the same marinade with a bit of added honey for better caramelization (ribs recipe below).
From there, things went sideways: the meat is served with a maoroccan taboule salad with lots of herbs like mint, coriander, etc... (recipe in this blog), homemade marinated red onions (white vinegar, water, sugar, black peeper corns, left in the fridge a couple of days before use), Pirkka hummus heavily customized with olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and cayenne pepper powder, and middle eastern flat bread (not on the pic) To go along, a chilled bottle of "Arthur Metz Pinot Noir Rosé" from Alsace.
So... Morrocanese? Japanan? Or just yummi?
