🇷🇺 Russia recipe
Shashlik
Shashlik is the undisputed king of Russian outdoor cooking, skewered meat grilled over charcoal that transforms any weekend at the dacha into a celebration. The tradition came to Russia from the Caucasus and Central Asia, and it has become as Russian as the birch tree. The key is an overnight marinade of onions, vinegar, and spices that tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor. Grilled until charred on the outside and juicy within, shashlik served with raw onion rings and fresh herbs is the taste of a Russian summer.
