Savor the bold flavors of Shashlik, a traditional skewered meat dish marinated in garlic, onions, and spices. Perfect for a weekend barbecue or a festive gathering with friends and family.

• 800 grams lamb or pork shoulder
• 2 medium onions
• 4 cloves garlic
• 100 ml vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon paprika

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the lamb or pork shoulder cubes, sliced onions, minced garlic, vegetable oil, vinegar, ground black pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix well to coat the meat thoroughly.

2. 2

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

3. 3

   Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated meat onto the soaked skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

5. 5

   Grill the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

6. 6

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve hot with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or rice, and enjoy your authentic shashlik!
