Step by Step guide
Step 1
Remove the tough tendons from the meat of the lamb's back and loin and cut the meat into pieces.
Step 2
The pieces of meat should be round, flat, with cuts, weighing about 180–200 grams. Cut the fat tail into similar pieces.
Step 3
Place the meat and fat in a clay or porcelain dish, sprinkle with salt, aromatic and black pepper, cloves, onion passed through a meat grinder, add vinegar or citric acid, cognac, and spicy herbs, mix and place in a cool place for marinating for 6–7 hours.
Step 4
Skewer the marinated pieces of lamb onto a special skewer, alternating with pieces of fat, and trim the surface of the meat pieces with a knife.
Step 5
Grill over hot coals (without flames), systematically turning the skewer to ensure the meat cooks evenly.
Step 6
During the grilling of the shashlik, periodically slice the outer layer of meat and fat into thin slices (1–1.5 cm) directly onto a plate.
Step 7
Serve Karsk shashlik with onion and herbs of dill, cilantro, and parsley.
