Advice
Enjoy your meal! For this recipe, it's best to use fresh meat rather than frozen, as frozen meat can turn out dry when cooked. To avoid eye irritation while cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. Also, to prevent the cutting board from absorbing the strong onion smell, rub it with a slice of lemon before chopping.
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients from the list. What pork cut is best for shashlik? The neck, tenderloin, or sirloin are ideal choices. If possible, use fresh meat rather than frozen, as fresh meat makes the shashlik much juicier and tender.
Step 2
Rinse the pork thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the meat into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform marination and cooking. Place the meat in a deep bowl.
Step 3
Peel and rinse the onions, then cut them into large rings. Gently crush the onion rings with your hands to release the juices, then add them to the meat.
Step 4
Season everything with salt and ground black or allspice to taste. In a separate deep bowl, mix water and vinegar. Pour the vinegar marinade over the meat and onions. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight).
Step 5
Thread the marinated meat onto skewers. If desired, alternate meat pieces with onion rings. Prepare a grill and light the coals. Once the coals are covered with white ash, you can start grilling.
Step 6
Grill the meat on all sides, turning the skewers occasionally. Cook until fully done—this usually takes 15-20 minutes. To check for doneness, cut into a piece of meat—if the juices run clear, it's ready!
Step 7
Serve the hot and delicious shashlik straight from the grill. Pair it with fresh salads, vegetables, and various sauces. Enjoy!
