Shashlik, a traditional dish enjoyed throughout Eastern Europe, is all about simplicity and flavor. Perfect for gatherings, this Estonian version of grilled meat skewers combines herbs and spices to deliver a delicious, savory experience. Dive into the details of this classic recipe and master the art of skewering and grilling meat.

Ingredients

🥩 1 kg boneless pork shoulder, Karni brand
🧂 2 teaspoons salt
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced, Garlico brand
🌿 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
🍋 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, Sunkist
🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
🧅 2 large onions, sliced, Vidalia
🍶 150 ml plain yogurt, Farmi brand

Instructions

1- Prepare the Meat:

Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes.
Place them in a large mixing bowl.

2- Marinate the Meat:

Add salt, minced garlic, ground black pepper, lemon juice, dill, parsley, onion slices, and plain yogurt to the bowl of pork cubes.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all the pieces are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

3- Skewer the Meat:

Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the meat onto the skewers, alternating with onion slices.

4- Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F/200°C.
If using a gas grill, a Weber Spirit II E-310 is recommended.

5- Grill the Shashlik:

Place the skewers on the grill grates.
Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.
Ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.

6- Serve:

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
