Lamb shashlik - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken thighs or breast can be a great substitute for lamb. Marinate as instructed, but reduce cooking time slightly to prevent drying out.
Marinated lamb can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For best results, cook within 5-6 hours as per the recipe to avoid over-tenderizing the meat.
Replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free alternative while maintaining depth of flavor.
Absolutely! Use a high-heat grill pan on the stovetop, turning skewers frequently for even charring. Cook time may vary, so check for doneness.
Serve with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, fresh herbs, flatbreads, or a cooling yogurt-cucumber sauce for balance.
Skip any sugar in marinades and serve with low-carb sides like cauliflower rice or grilled zucchini instead of bread/grains.
Yes, freeze skewered meat (without wooden skewers) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge before cooking. For best texture, don’t freeze pre-marinated onion.
Avoid overcooking—lamb is best medium-rare. Baste with leftover marinade (boiled first) and rotate skewers frequently for even cooking.
