If you grill every weekend, a big challenge is not to get bored not only for yourself but also for others – how to plan a different menu? Nothing complicated: no need to browse the internet or gather the family to consult so everyone can express their opinion. You don’t even need to prepare in advance – without any hassle, you can grill all summer long and taste different flavors.
If it still sounds unreal, plan a one-month weekend menu: four different flavors guaranteed – from smoky spicy, forest aroma to piquant salty and exotic. Different flavors for meat steaks and kebabs are provided by marinades.
First weekend: spicy smoky
A bit of piquant spiciness and an innovative smoky flavor give pork a chipotle marinade made from smoked jalapeños, tomato paste, garlic, onions, and spices.
“Norfa” chief butcher Dainius Bartošius says that chipotle is a new marinade used for pork neck and loin steaks: “With this marinade, pork steaks just melt in your mouth, and the taste is something you haven’t tried before – a light smoky, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of campfire scent and a gentle heat.”
Even more flavor and pleasant texture for meat dishes is provided by the seasonal novelty – “Rivona” chicken wings with Cremy chipotle marinade are simply perfect – slightly spicy and creamy.
Second weekend – forest scent
A true summer discovery – a new flavor forest mushroom chanterelle marinade, pleasantly smelling of Lithuanian forest, green moss, and scaly spruces.
With the chanterelle-flavored marinade, look for new products at “Norfa”: pork neck with bone, pork ham with skin, and chicken steaks. According to D. Bartošius, buyers already like these products, they gladly buy neck because it always cooks juicy and tender. The marinade also softens pork ham, and with the skin, this meat part definitely has its fans.
“Chicken steaks are meant for the whole family, liked by both young and older ones, because the marinade has a mild flavor made from dried crushed chanterelles or their extract, onions, cream-flavored spices, pepper, garlic, and aromatic herbs,” says the butcher.
UAB “Rivona” prepares chicken drumsticks and steaks with this new flavor marinade. Drumsticks are sold in the weighed meat section, and steaks are conveniently packed in containers for grilling – you can cook even faster.
Third weekend – piquant salty
If you had to describe the taste of teriyaki marinade, one word would not be enough, because it combines a wide range of rich soy sauce notes and subtle ginger spiciness. Sugar gives sweetness to the marinade, which caramelizes during cooking and forms a crispy crust.
With teriyaki marinade, “Rivona” prepares chicken wings – look for them in the weighed meat products section at “Norfa.”

Fourth weekend – new flavor kebabs
If you think you can’t discover anything new when grilling kebabs – you’re wrong. At “Norfa,” you will find many untasted marinades that give meat an unprecedented flavor. Even Armenian kebabs, which have become traditional, are prepared differently by each chef.
“Norfa” meat technologists also have their recipe – pork neck kebabs with “Armenian” marinade are made from traditional Armenian spice blends and fragrant Caucasian herbs.
“Norfa” pork kebabs with aromatic herbs have also become popular. According to D. Bartošius, the marinade is made with mayonnaise and oil, adding traditional garden herbs: thyme, basil, savory, parsley, marjoram, oregano, rosemary.
“Rivona” adds even more herbs to neck kebabs with “Greens” marinade: thyme, basil, savory, parsley, marjoram, and oregano.
Interesting, fruity-flavored pork neck kebabs with “Piquant” marinade, dominated by orange and apple juices, apple powder, and papaya extract.
Closer to classic are “Rivona” “Campfire” pork kebabs with traditional marinade ingredients – onions, bay leaves, and pepper.
Technologist Daiva Vaišvilienė recommends grilling kebabs with “Caesar” marinade – you will feel the flavor of caraway. Mild-flavored pork kebabs with “Yogurt” marinade or kebabs with caramel, smoke, and tomato flavor “Maple BBQ” marinade are suitable for the whole family.
According to the technologist, different flavored kebabs will be enough for all summer weekends – choose neck kebabs “For the Grill” with various pepper flavors, with “Mayonnaise” marinade mixed with paprika, coriander, basil, and other herbs. And what about chicken kebabs – grill and taste “Gourmet choice” kebabs with paprika and onions, “Pfefferico” marinade with paprika, garlic, and mustard flavors, “Cream and chipotle” marinade with smoked chipotle peppers, spices, and cream.
