Shashlik Grilled Lamb Kebabs Recipes

GRANDPA NICK'S GEORGIA SHASHLIK

Steps:

• Cut lemon in half and juice. Cut 2 rinds into chunks.
• Place lemon juice and rinds into a large glass or ceramic bowl with red wine, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add lamb and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 18 hours.
• Remove lamb from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread lamb on to skewers.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook skewers, turning occasionally, on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads at least 130 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, about 15 minutes.

SHASHLIK (RUSSIAN LAMB KEBABS)

Steps:

• Combine half the dill with the club soda, vinegar, 1 tsp. coriander, and paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add lamb and onion wedges; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced onion and garlic; cook 6-8 minutes. Add remaining coriander, plus tomato paste, red pepper flakes, prunes, and salt, and pepper to taste; cook until caramelized, 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes; simmer until thick, 15-20 minutes. Stir in remaining dill, plus cilantro, parsley, and lemon juice.
• Heat grill on high. Bank coals or turn off one burner. Alternate lamb and onions on skewer. Cook over heat 18-20 minutes for rare. If outside is cooking too fast, move to a cooler area.
• Remove from skewers and serve with tomato prune sauce.
