Shashlyk it's a type of meat skewers that are really popular in Russia and other Eastern European countries.
This dish originally is coming from Central Asia and Caucasus. The Russians are normally preparing Shashlyki in the open air, duruing the hot seasons. There is a tradition, for example, to get together to eat meat skewers on the 1st of May (Mayovka), the celebration of the International Workers' Day, or Labour Day. Normally the first warm days are coming with the month of May and it gives an opportunity for the russian people meet some friends and celebrate this event.
I prepared a recipy for you guys of the shashlyk that my father used to do, it's really delicious! But there is one thing you have to remember, the best meat for the skewers is lamb, no doubt, but there are many people that are using pork as a alternative of a soft and juicy meat (my father prefers pork). I have never seen people preparing any beef shashlyk, at all.
So, here it goes:
Pork skewers with vodka
Take the 5 kg of pork and cut into large chunks, cut the 5 kg of onions too, as rings, put spices: salt, pepper, garlic. Poor 300 grams of vodka on the top, close the meet with some lead or simply another plate and put away in a cool place for 24 hours. After it has been marinated fry it on the grill and enjoy your meal, it will come out delicious, trust me!
You can also add some seasoning to the fried meat:
Seasoning with garlic & vinegar
To prepare the condiments you'll need: a couple of teeth of garlic, 1 onion, one-third cup of the white vinegar, some herbs like dill, basil, parsley, coriander, cilantro or tarragon and a third cup of boiled water. Crush garlic and mix with salt. Add the ground spices. Dilute vinegar with water and add it to your garlic weight, then mash everything thoroughly.
