Shashlik

Shashlik

Shashlik or shashlyk (Russian: Шашлык, from Crimean Tatar "Şışlıq" [ [http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=1&basename=usrlocalsharestarlingmorphovasmervasmer&first=17017 Vasmer's Etymological Dictionary] ] [ [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=shashlik Shashlik in Reference.com] ] ) is a form of skewered dish popular throughout the former Soviet Union and Mongolia.

Shashlik is generally either beef, pork, or lamb, depending on local preferences or religious observances. These skewers of meat are either all meat, all fat, or alternating pieces of meat and fat. Meat for Shashlik (as opposed to other forms of Shish kebab) are usually marinated overnight in a high-acidity marinade like vinegar, dry wine or sour fruit/vegetable juice with the addition of herbs and spices. While it is not unusual to see shashlik listed on the menu of restaurants, it is more commonly sold by street vendors who roast the skewers over wood, charcoal, or coal. Shashlik is usually cooked on a grill called a mangal. It also has become part of Israeli fastfood being brought over by Jews from Russia. The name in Hebrew is similar: shishlyk. Shishlyk is prepared the same way as shashlik, and usually has very strong tasting and spicy marinades.
