Ražnjići (Montenegrin Meat Skewers) #EattheWorld

Almost every culture serves meat cooked on skewers.  They come by many different names.  In Montenegro, they are called Ražnjići and can be made with many proteins.  I used pork in my version.  They were scrumptious.

Please join us as we travel to Montenegro this month in our quest to Eat the World.....

Let's take a look at the Motnegran foods being served up today.......

Tender chunks of pork marinate overnight before being threaded onto skewers with onion and grilled to a perfect medium.  

I served this with a side of steamed rice and a fresh cucumber and tomato salad.  It was a wonderful summer dinner eaten poolside.
