    Ražnjići are skewers of marinated pork and onion, grilled until charred at the edges and juicy in the middle. The marinade — oil, vinegar, paprika, and garlic — is simple but sings.

    A staple of Balkan grill nights, ražnjići are served straight off the skewer with ajvar, fresh bread, and maybe a cold beer. They are best eaten the moment they leave the fire.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Whisk the oil, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and crumbled bay leaf in a bowl.
    2. Add the pork and onions and toss well; marinate 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
    3. Thread the meat and onion chunks onto skewers.
    4. Grill over medium-high heat, turning often, for 12-15 minutes, until charred and juicy.
    5. Rest 5 minutes and serve straight off the skewers with ajvar and bread.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Cut the meat into even cubes so everything cooks at the same pace.
