preparation
➊ Attention: Start the preparatory work one day in advance!
Cut the pork neck into large pieces. Peel the onions, quarter them and place them over the meat. Sprinkle the meat and onions with the garlic. Add the spices and mix well.
➋ Finally, pour the mineral water over it, stir well again and cover the whole thing with foil. This preparation should be done the day before so that the meat absorbs the wonderful flavor of the onions, garlic and spices. The carbon dioxide in the mineral water also has a very positive effect on the tenderness of the meat.
➌ The next day, put the pieces of meat on the skewers and cook on the grill over direct heat until the desired browning is achieved. (If the onions are big enough, they can simply be skewered between the pieces of meat.)
Fabian's BBQ tip: I always recommend distributing the embers a little unevenly, so that I have different cooking zones in the grill and can hang the skewers around as desired in order to be able to play better with the heat.
