Authentic Charcoal-Grilled Lamb Shashlik

There are countless kebab recipes out there — but mine is the real deal! Give it a try! In the East, no festive table is complete without shashlik. A proper shashlik is, in my opinion, the most delicious food in the world. This is how it was cooked out on the pastures — and we'll make it at the cottage, or even on a balcony, over a grill or an open fire.

Note that classic shashlik is made with lamb. Traditionally, six pieces of meat go on each skewer — the word "shish-lik" comes from the Turkish for "six pieces."

  • Cut the lamb (tenderloin or part of the leg) into strips about 4–5 inches (10–12 cm) long, 1–1½ inches (3–4 cm) wide, and ¾ inch (2 cm) thick. Lightly pound each piece with a wooden mallet, or score it crosswise on both sides with a knife. Put the meat in an enameled dish — or better yet, a glazed ceramic one. Sprinkle with salt and spices (pepper, coriander). Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, then pour apple or grape vinegar over everything. Set it in a cool place to marinate for two hours. Grill the kebabs over the smoldering coals of non-resinous hardwood. Thread each piece of marinated meat onto skewers. Grill on one side first, then the other, until a browned crust forms. When the shashlik is done, slide it off the skewers and cut into small pieces on plates. Serve this classic shashlik with a fresh tomato salad, or simply with thin onion rings sprinkled with ground black pepper.
