When it comes to traditional Italian barbecue, arrosticini are one of the most popular dishes. These succulent skewers of lamb or mutton are a staple at Italian street fairs and festivals, but they are also a popular dish at home, especially during the summer months. However, the key to the perfect arrosticini is not just the quality of the meat but also the method of cooking. The best barbecue arrosticini require a perfect cooking on well-prepared grills.

The first step in preparing the perfect arrosticini is to choose high-quality meat. Although lamb and mutton are the traditional choices, beef and pork can also be used. The meat should be cut into small cubes and marinated with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary for at least an hour. This not only adds flavor to the meat but also helps to tenderize it.

The next step is to prepare the grill. Traditional arrosticini are cooked on special grills known as “fornacelle” in Italy. These grills are made of iron or stone and have several parallel skewers running across them. However, if you don’t have access to a fornacelle, a regular charcoal or gas grill will do. The key is to make sure the grill is hot and well-oiled before adding the meat.

When it comes to cooking the arrosticini, the key is to cook them quickly over high heat. Each skewer should be placed directly on the grill, slightly angled so that the fat drips down and doesn’t cause flare-ups. The skewers should be turned frequently to ensure that each side is evenly cooked and doesn’t burn.

It’s important to keep an eye on the temperature of the grill and adjust it as needed. If the grill is too hot, the meat will cook too quickly and burn. If it’s not hot enough, the meat will cook too slowly and become tough.

Once the arrosticini are cooked, they should be served immediately. Traditionally, they are eaten straight off the skewer, accompanied by a glass of red wine and a slice of bread. However, they can also be served with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

In summary, the best barbecue arrosticini require a perfect cooking on well-prepared grills. Choosing high-quality meat, marinating it properly, and cooking it over high heat on a well-oiled grill are the keys to achieving juicy, flavorful skewers. Whether you are cooking them on a traditional fornacelle or a regular grill, following these steps will ensure that your arrosticini are a hit at your next barbecue.
