Savor the smoky flavors of Frigărui, a delightful Romanian dish featuring tender pork or beef skewers grilled with vibrant bell peppers and onions. Perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy weeknight dinner with loved ones.

• 500 g pork shoulder or beef
• 1 large bell pepper
• 1 large onion
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 skewers wooden or metal skewers

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the pork or beef cubes, vegetable oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water to prevent burning.

4. 4

   Thread the marinated meat, bell pepper chunks, and onion chunks alternately onto the skewers.

5. 5

   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

6. 6

   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve the frigărui hot, with a side of fresh bread and a dipping sauce, if desired.
