Preparation
Step 1
What meat is best? Pork, young beef, or veal works great. I used a piece of pork neck. Important: the tastiest and juiciest shashlik comes from fresh, not frozen, meat.
Step 2
Pat dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Cut the pork into medium-sized pieces. Try to make all pieces the same size for even marinating and cooking. Place the pieces in a deep bowl suitable for marinating.
Step 3
Peel the onions and chop them finely.
Step 4
Put the chopped onions in a separate small bowl. Add a little salt and ground black pepper.
Step 5
Mix and crush the onions with your hands to release the juice.
Step 6
Add the onions to the pork. Add paprika, your favorite dried spices, and a bay leaf. Salt to taste. Pour in vegetable oil and red wine vinegar.
Step 7
Mix everything thoroughly. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes to 2 hours. You can also marinate the meat overnight in the fridge.
Step 8
Light the grill. Skewer the pork pieces on skewers. Place the shashlik on the grill and cook over hot coals, turning regularly until done. Our shashlik was ready in 20-25 minutes.
Step 9
Serve while hot! Offer fresh herbs, vegetables, and various sauces alongside the meat.
