TON NEGIMA (GRILLED PORK BELLY AND SCALLION SKEWERS)



Ton Negima (Grilled Pork Belly and Scallion Skewers) image

In some parts of Japan, yakiton (skewered, grilled pork) is more popular than grilled chicken. These grilled pork belly and scallion skewers are a favorite.

Provided by Harris Salat

Time 35m

Yield Makes 12 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh pork belly, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 1½ inches wide)
2 bunches scallions (white part only), cut into 1½-inch pieces
Salt
Sansho, for accent

Steps:

  • Thread the skewers by alternating the pork belly and scallion (about 3 pieces of pork belly and 2 pieces of scallion per skewer) so the pieces cover about 4 inches of skewer. As you work, turn the skewers in a screwing motion to make it easier to pierce the pork and scallion. When the skewers are ready, gently press down on each one with the heel of your hand to compact the meat. Lightly season all sides with salt.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-hot. Grill skewers for 5 to 6 minutes, turning every minute to brown evenly. Be careful not to burn the pork belly. Don't hesitate to spray flare-ups with water, or shift skewers as you grill, especially if you notice some skewers browning too fast over a hot spot; trade them with skewers grilling over a less hot part. Serve immediately. Accent with sansho.

GRILLED SCALLION LAMB



Grilled Scallion Lamb image

Here is a somewhat different take on lamb kebabs for the grill. The meat is bathed in a spicy-cool Asian marinade and threaded on skewers with whole scallions placed crosswise so all can be seared together. My butcher suggested top round of lamb, a cut I had never used, but he knew what he was talking about: It was excellent, lean and tender. The scallions become lightly charred and smoky. Romesco, the Spanish pepper, tomato and nut emulsion that's often served as a dip for grilled baby leeks, would be a perfect sauce alongside.

Categories     skewers and kebabs, main course

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds well-trimmed boneless top round lamb
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon Vietnamese fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 limes
3 bunches scallions

Steps:

  • Cut lamb in 2-inch chunks; you should have about 20 pieces. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil with ginger, five-spice, cumin, pepper, salt, fish sauce, soy sauce and juice of 2 limes. Add lamb, mix to coat well and set aside at room temperature 3 hours.
  • Trim scallions of roots and outer layer of white and cut back green so scallions are 6 to 8 inches long. Coat with remaining oil and set aside. Light grill. Thread meat on long skewers, alternating each chunk of meat with a scallion by running skewers through the center of the scallions crosswise so the scallions stick out on either side of the skewer. Brush meat and scallions with some of remaining marinade.
  • Grill skewers of meat and scallions close to your source of heat, basting occasionally with marinade. Turn skewers once or twice, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the grill, until lamb is medium-rare and scallions are lightly charred. Arrange skewers on a platter and serve with wedges of remaining lime.

12 large scallions (10 ounces total), trimmed, leaving most of greens attached
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lemon
Special Equipment
2 (8-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Toss scallions with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Line up scallions side by side on a work surface and thread skewers, 1 at a time, crosswise through all scallions to form a solid rectangle. (Skewers should be inserted about 2 inches from each end.) Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once or twice, until softened and charred in patches, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer scallions to a platter and squeeze lemon evenly over them, then remove skewers.
