• In the event that there is no dry firewood at hand, excellent option will serve to replace them charcoal. You just have to wait until it burns well and gets hot.
• When installing a barbecue for winter barbecue, you should pay attention to ensure that the distance between the meat and the coal is not too large. And if the barbecue has very high walls, it is worth placing bricks in its corners to increase the heat. In order to increase air flow, it is necessary to use pre-prepared cardboard.

In addition to the winter barbecue being prepared on the grill, it is necessary to take additional food. But at the same time, it is better to remove cold appetizers from the menu; they can be replaced with marinades, pickles, sandwiches, and also hot potatoes in uniforms, which is quickly prepared in nature.

Meat preparation

Cooking tasty, aromatic and juicy kebab It’s impossible to imagine without first soaking the meat in the marinade. Known a large number of different recipes kebab marinades. Some people use wine for this, others milk and lemon juice. One of the most common methods is meat in a marinade with the addition of lemon juice.

To obtain a tasty and high-quality dish, it also has great importance choice of meat for barbecue. From the part of the carcass located along the ridge, it turns out to be especially tender and juicy. Lamb ham is also good for this purpose. And if the choice falls on pork, then the neck would be the ideal option. When preparing shish kebab, experienced professionals usually choose tenderloin from beef. The named veal dish turns out excellent.

Cooking shish kebab

Cold and snow are not a reason to hibernate! We suggest going on a picnic with friends and family on weekends. Yes, yes, you heard right! Outdoor recreation will be no less fun and comfortable than in the summer. The main thing is to prepare for it thoroughly.

Place and time

You need to get ready for the trip early in the morning, because in winter the daylight hours are short and by sunset it becomes very cold. If you or your friends have a summer house, it is best to have a picnic not far from it so that you can warm up indoors at any time. If you don’t have a summer house, choose a site protected from the wind - in a clearing or in a lowland. Do not go too deep into the forest, do not walk through snowdrifts, do not come close to cliffs and do not go out on the ice. If you plan to go sledding or skiing, think in advance about where and how you can do it.

Entertainment

If picnics in the warm season do not require any special entertainment, you can just lie on the grass and admire nature, but in winter everything is different. Not just lying down, even sitting for a long time is excluded. Therefore, think about what you will do: walk, play outdoor games with children, build a snowman, sledding, take pictures. Bring with you tourist foams (karemats, isomats), which can be covered with blankets. You can rest on them during breaks between games.

Cloth

To spend several hours in the cold, you need to dress so that you are not too hot when moving, but not too cold when you are in place. Picnic clothing should consist of several layers so that an air layer is created between the layers, which will prevent the cold from penetrating the body. Also, the point of multi-layer clothing is to remove excess clothes during activities, and then put them on to avoid hypothermia. Choose clothing made from materials that wick moisture, dry quickly, insulate the cold, and are still breathable. The most suitable shoes for walking outside the city are waterproof and insulated hiking boots. The gloves should also be waterproof and very warm. Be sure to bring a spare set of mittens, socks and thermal underwear for yourself and the children so that you can change if someone gets wet.

Food

Give preference high-calorie dishes – rich soups, fried meat, kebabs, hot sandwiches. They will help restore the energy that the body spends on heating. You can prepare food at home or start cooking at a picnic. To do this, you can use a fire or a gas burner. Keep in mind that you will need more fire starter fluid than in the summer. It is better to prepare or buy firewood in advance, since the knots in the forest may be damp.

The morning before the picnic, cut up all the foods that require cutting and make preparations for future street dishes. Believe me, the last thing you want to do in a forest clearing is cut cheese or bread. Ready food wrap in aluminum foil and a thermal bag to maintain temperature. To keep the tea hot, pour it into a thermos.

For outdoor dining, a clay or metal utensils, but by no means disposable plastic. As a last resort, look for an option made of thick cardboard. For drinks, choose travel thermal mugs with a lid. In them, drinks remain hot for a long time, and the risk of getting burned from such dishes is almost reduced to zero.

Beverages

Hot tea or fruit drink - perfect drinks for a winter picnic. But it’s better to avoid coffee, because caffeine reduces blood flow and as a result, your feet and hands will quickly freeze. WITH alcoholic drinks everything is even more complicated: doctors do not advise consuming them in the cold. Although many people believe that alcohol warms you up, this is nothing more than a myth. Alcohol dilates the surface vessels of the body and increases heat transfer. At first you will actually feel warmer, but this is a short-term effect; if you stay in the cold for a long time, there is a risk of hypothermia. If you have a picnic near your dacha, you can end the winter party with mulled wine in a warm room.

Before you start preparing snacks and barbecue for a winter picnic, you should take care of preparing a fire to heat your entire group, and also arrange some kind of heating zone on the grill. After all, on winter cold hot dishes cool down instantly. To do this, take a longer grill with you and at one end make a zone for preparing barbecue or grilled delicacies, and on the other side stack hot coals over which already cooked dishes will be heated. And so that your funny company not frozen, make a long fire: place two long logs next to each other, another one on top of them, and light them with brushwood or coal and a special liquid. Such a fire will burn for a long time. Now let's move on to our menu.

Potatoes baked in foil. A camp version of baked potatoes with various fillers. Potatoes can be washed well with a brush or peeled. Make several cross cuts on each potato, not going all the way to the end, so that you get something like an accordion. Place any foods that suit your taste into the slits, add salt and pepper, wrap in 1-2 layers of foil as tightly as possible and place on a grill over the fire. Baking time depends on the size of the potatoes and the degree of heating (at least 20-25 minutes). Filling options:

Bacon slices, onion

Thin scrap tiki raw oily fish, onion

Cheese, onion, bacon

Ham, onion, garlic

Smoked sausage, garlic

Appetizer of lavash or pita bread with cheese. Another one hot snack for a picnic, which is prepared literally from everything that was available.

Before the trip, you can prepare cutlets (any kind - meat, fish or potatoes), fried fish or meat, boil dumplings or prepare eggplant rolls. At a picnic, all you have to do is lay it on foil finished products, sprinkle with cheese, add herbs, spices or garlic to taste and wrap tightly. And bake for a few minutes!

Cut into squares, dip in beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs. Fry in vegetable oil, and in nature, wrap several pieces in foil and heat over a fire.

Prepare any fillings: mashed potatoes, cottage cheese mixed with herbs and garlic, meat or minced fish, cheese with ham, liver, egg with rice or green onions, boiled heart, cod liver with boiled rice- fantasize!

Place a spoonful of filling on the end of each strip and fold the triangle, pressing the corner. Continue wrapping the ribbon in triangles until the end.
